English poem
Amoure
by Stephen Hawes (1474–1523)
O goodd madame! though that they abused Them to theyr ladyes in theyr great deceyte, Yet am I true; let me not be refused: Ye have me taken wyth so fayre a bayte, That ye shall never out of my conceyte. I can not wrynche by no wyle nor croke, My heart is fast upon so sure a hoke.
