Rebholz, ed. Sir Thomas Wyatt: The Complete Poems. London: Penguin, 1978. 78. this poem was entered by H8 and based on Serafino Aquilano 's strambotti “El cor ti diedi che el tormentassi.”ibid., 345. The poem also appears in Tottel's Miscellany under the title “The louer forsaketh his vnkinde loue” (item 100).Tottel's Miscellany: Songes and Sonettes. Richard Tottel, 1557; rpt. Exeter: Shearsman, 2010. 80-81. H1 enters another version of this poem as "My harte I gave the not to do it paine" (3r). "My harte I gave the not to do it paine" (3r) omits line 10. Variations in word choice occur in both poems: a few examples include the differences between 3r's “slave” and 75v’s “servant” (line 3); 3r's “restraine” and 75v’s “reffreyne” (line 8); and 3r's “bering” and 75v’s “lernyng” (lines 11 and 12 respectively).
