Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT WORD IS THAT THAT CHANGETH NOT
Last Line: IT IS MY HEALTH EKE AND MY SORE.
Subject(s): BOLEYN, ANNE (1507-1536); LOVE;
What word is that that changeth not
Though it be turned and made in twain?
It is mine answer, God it wot,
And eke the causer of my pain.
A love rewardeth with disdain,
Yet is it loved. What would ye more?
It is my health eke and my sore.
