Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880.

Songs and Epigrams

A description of such a one as he would love

A FACE that should content me wondrous well,

Should not be fair, but lovely to behold;

Of lively look, all grief for to repel;

With right good grace, so would I that it should

Speak without word, such words as none can tell:

Her tress also should be of crisped gold;

With wit, and these perchance I might be tried,

And knit again with knot, that should not slide.
