## Commentary

Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt, this poem was entered by H8. The lover counts on the lady’s mercy and hopes that he shall win her by remaining constant. This poem is also one of seventeen entries where Margaret Douglas marks “and thys.” Paul Remley has suggested that these annotations relate to another in-text annotation of hers, “lerne but to syng it” (on "now all of chaunge" (81r)), and may indicate a group of texts to be learned for entertaining.
