RESIGNATION by THOMAS WYATT

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN FAITH METHINKS IT IS NOT RIGHT
Last Line: SINCE WOMEN USE SO MUCH TO FEIGN.
In faith methinks it is not right
To hate me thus for loving ye;
So fair a face, so full of spite,
Who would have thought such cruelty?
But since there is no remedy
That by no means ye can me love,
I shall you leave and other prove.

For if I have for my good will
No reward else but cruelty,
In faith thereof I can no skill
Sith that I loved ye honestly;
But take heed I will till I die
Or that I love so well again,
Since women use so much to feign.
