Commentary Entered by TH2, this anagram is possibly a reply by Anne Boleyn to Wyatt’s “What word is that that changeth not though it be turned,” – the answer is ANNA. Thus, the first and fourth letters of the first two lines must be interchanged to decipher the anagram, which reads, “a lemmen, amene, ah I save dese, I ama yours, an.” This anagram might suggest allegiances between various members of the manuscript’s coterie and those on the periphery. Anne Boleyn’s mottos are mentioned in some verses: H8’s transcription of Wyatt’s poem “Ye know my herte my ladye dere” (73v) contains Boleyn’s motto “Me and Myne,”R.A. Rebholz, ed. Sir Thomas Wyatt: The Complete Poems. London: Penguin, 1978. 436. and “Grudge on who liste this ys my lott” (78v) also contains an earlier motto of Boleyn’s from her time at the Burgundian court.
