Commentary
Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt in the Devonshire Manuscript, this poem was entered by H2. Similar to other courtly poetry found in the Devonshire Manuscript, this poem describes a suffering lover and his cruel mistress.

This poem is one of seventeen entries where Margaret Douglas marks with “and thys.” Paul Remley has suggested that these annotations relate to another in-text annotation of hers, “lerne but to syng it” (81r), and may indicate a group of texts to be learned for entertaining.
