Madam, withouten many words <br /> Once I am sure ye will or no ... <br />And if ye will, then leave your bourds <br /> And use your wit and show it so, <br />And with a beck ye shall me call; <br /> And if of one that burneth alway <br />Ye have any pity at all, <br /> Answer him fair with & {.} or nay. <br />If it be &, {.} I shall be fain; <br /> If it be nay, friends as before; <br />Ye shall another man obtain, <br /> And I mine own and yours no more.<br /><br />Sir Thomas Wyatt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/madam-withouten-many-words/
