CRUEL SPITE by ANNE BOLEYN

First Line: DEFILED IS MY NAME FULL SORE
Last Line: YE SEEK FOR THAT CAN NOT BE FOUND.
Subject(s): FAREWELL; PARTING;
Defiled is my name full sore
Through cruel spite and false report,
That I may say for evermore,
Farewell, my joy! adieu comfort!
For wrongfully ye judge of me
Unto my fame a mortal wound,
Say what ye list, it will not be,
Ye seek for that can not be found.
