| Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880. | | | | Songs and Sonnets | | Of change in Mind |
| | | EACH man me telleth I change most my devise; | |
| And on my faith, methink it good reason | |
| To change purpose, like after the season. | |
| For in each case to keep still one guise, | |
| Is meet for them that would be taken wise; | 5 |
| And I am not of such manner condition; | |
| But treated after a diverse fashion; | |
| And thereupon my diverseness doth rise. | |
| But you, this diverseness that blamen most, | |
| Change you no more, but still after one rate | 10 |
| Treat you me well, and keep you in that state; | |
| And while with me cloth dwell this wearied ghost, | |
| My word, nor I, shall not be variable, | |
| But always one; your own both firm and stable. | | | | |
