评论

这首诗被认为是托马斯·怀亚特爵士所作， 它是被H8 录入的。说话者拒绝继续为失去的爱而悲伤，并把这位女士的反复无常描述为女性气质的自然品质。他满足于曾经拥有过这位女士的爱。另一个描述这种关于女性反复无常的观点的例子，请看诗歌 “Dyvers dothe vse as I have hard & kno” (77v)。

这首诗是玛格丽特·道格拉斯标记为“and thys” 的 17 个条目之一。保罗·雷姆利认为这些注释与她的另一个文本内注释“lerne but to syng it”（在 "now all of chaunge" (81r) 上）有关，可能代表了一组要学习的用来娱乐的文本。
