1 whan that I call vnto my mynde
2 the tyme of hope that ons I hade
3 the grete abuse that ded me blinde
4 dothe force me allwaies to be sad
5 yet of my greef I fayne me glad
6 but on assurid I was to bolde
7 to truste to such a slippre{p'} holde /
8 I thought yt well that I had wrought
9 willing forthewith{w+t+} so to ensue
10 but he that sekis as I have sought
11 shall finde most trust oft tymes vntrue
12 for lest I reckte that most I rue
13 of that I thought my silf most sure
14 ys nowe the wante of all my cure /

15 Amiddes{es} my welthe I dede not reke
16 but sone alas or that I wiste
17 to weake the tyme was come that{{th}+t+} all toweake
18 I had no powre to to resiste
19 nowe am I prof . to . them that liste
20 to flee suche woo . and wrongfull paine
21 as in my herte I doo sustayne /
22 for faynid faithe is alwaies free
23 and dothe inclyne to bee vniuste
24 that sure I thinck there can{_a}n none bee
25 to miche assurid with{w+t+}out mistruste
26 but hap what maye. to theim that muste
27 Sustaine suche cruell destenye
28 wythe patiens for remedye /
29 As I am on biche bye restrainte

33 sins no waies els maye ser{{s}8}ue my torne
34 yet for the dowt of this distresse
35 I aske but right for my redresse /

Commentary
Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt,1] this poem was entered by [H8. In this poem, the speaker feels disappointed by someone who appeared faithful but is really untrue. Similar to many courtly love lyrics, this poem can be interpreted as commenting on both love and politics. This poem is one of a several entries in the manuscript that speaks of counterfeiting feelings in public (for instance, see: “Sum summ say I love sum say I moke” (58v), “In places Wher that I company” (62r), "I ame not she be prowess off syt" (65r), “Myght I as well within my song be lay” (65v), “To cowntarffete a mery mode” (65v), and “Ceaser whan the traytor of egipte” (70r)).
