HIS REWARD by THOMAS WYATT

Poet Analysis

First Line: WITH SERVING STILL / THIS HAVE I WON
Last Line: TO BE UNDONE!
Subject(s): FORTUNE; PAIN; SUFFERING; MISERY;
With serving still
This have I won,
For my goodwill
To be undone.

And for redress
Of all my pain,
Disdainfulness
I have again.

And for reward
Of all my smart
Lo, thus unheard,
I must depart!

Wherefore all ye
That after shall
By fortune be,
As I am, thrall,

Example take
What I have won,
Thus for her sake
To be undone!
