THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 67 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: HIS LADY LEAL WIST THAT HER LORD WAS CHANGED
Last Line: HIS ALIENATED LOVE THE MORE CONSTRAIN'D.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

His Lady leal wist that her lord was changed,
Yet noway could her mind divine the cause.
She felt his foretime love for her estranged,
And scann'd her heart for any seeming flaws—
Could he conceive that her sweet faith had ranged,
Who only sunn'd herself in his applause?
The world for her one man alone contain'd,
His alienated love the more constrain'd.
