| Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880. | | | | Rondeaux | | He determineth to cease to Love |
| | | FOR to love her for her looks lovely, | |
| My heart was set in thought right firmly, | |
| Trusting by truth to have had redress; | |
| But she hath made another promess, | |
| And hath given me leave full honestly. | 5 |
| Yet do I not rejoice it greatly; | |
| For on my faith I loved too surely, | |
| But reason will that I do cesse, | |
| For to love her. | |
| Since (that in love the pains been deadly), | 10 |
| Methink it best that readily | |
| I do return to my first address; | |
| For at this time too great is the press, | |
| And perils appear too abundantly, | |
| For to love her. | 15 | | | |
