Commentary Attributed to Sir Thomas Wyatt,R.A. Rebholz, ed, Sir Thomas Wyatt: The Complete Poems (London: Penguin, 1978), 74-75. this poem was entered by H2. In the poem the speaker describes a lady’s truth being tested and found wanting. The lover refuses to continue doting on her and finds his loyalty and endurance pushed to its limit. A heart-shaped pictograph appears on line twelve in place of the word "heart," which reads: "within my heart shall styll that thyng." The image appears to have two dots to represent eyes and a line to represent a mouth.
