28    my frend ys tornyd my foo
29    But syns there ys no defence
30    I must take pacyence

评论

这首诗被认为是托马斯·怀亚特爵士所作，由H2抄录。这首诗描述了说话者因朋友变敌人而遭受的痛苦，以及他们持久的耐心。诗歌“What nedythe lyff when I requyer” (43r-44r)和“Greting to you bothe yn hertye wyse” (79r-79v)描绘了类似的主题：前者讲述了恋人如何成为敌人，而后者包含了关于虚假朋友的警告。

Rebholz 指出这首诗可能属于怀亚特受塞拉菲诺的《Patientia 颂歌》启发而写的一组诗歌。“Pacyence of all my smart” 的第 1-2 行翻译了塞拉菲诺诗歌的前两行。
