| Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880. | | | | Songs and Epigrams | | Answer |
| | | OF few words, Sir, you seem to be, | |
| And where I doubted what I would do | |
| Your quick request hath caused me | |
| Quickly to tell you what you shall trust to. | |
| For he that will be called with a beck, | 5 |
| Makes hasty suit on light desire: | |
| Is ever ready to the check, | |
| And burneth in no wasting fire. | |
| Therefore whether you be lief or loth, | |
| And whether it grieve you light or sore, | 10 |
| I am at a point: I have made an oath, | |
| Content you with ‘Nay;’ for you get no more. | | | | |
