What no, perdy, ye may be sure!
Think not to make me to your lure,
With words and cheer so contrarying,
Sweet and sour counterweighing;
Too much it were still to endure.
Truth is 'trayed where craft is in ure;
But though ye have had my heart's cure,
Trow ye I dote without ending?
What no, perdy!
Though that with pain I do procure
For to forget that once was pure,
Within my heart shall still that thing,
Unstable, unsure, and wavering,
Be in my mind without recure?
What no, perdy!
