| William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Elizabethan Verse. 1907. | | | | A Supplication | | By Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–1542) |
| | | FORGET not yet the tried intent | |
| Of such a truth as I have meant; | |
| My great travail so gladly spent, | |
| Forget not yet! | |
| |
| Forget not yet when first began | 5 |
| The weary life ye know, since whan | |
| The suit, the service, none tell can; | |
| Forget not yet! | |
| |
| Forget not yet the great assays, | |
| The cruel wrong, the scornful ways, | 10 |
| The painful patience in delays, | |
| Forget not yet! | |
| |
| Forget not! O, forget not this!— | |
| How long ago hath been, and is, | |
| The mind that never meant amiss— | 15 |
| Forget not yet! | |
| |
| Forget not then thine own approved, | |
| The which so long hath thee so loved, | |
| Whose steadfast faith yet never moved, | |
| Forget not this! | 20 | | | |
