Commentary
Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt,[1] this poem was entered by H8. Rebholz notes that in the Trinity College Dublin MS D.2.7 the scribe attributes the poem to Thomas Vaux.[2] The speaker’s efforts to woo the lady have won him only disdain; he warns other lovers to pay heed to his misfortune.
