Since faith is dead,

From you is fled?

And well deserved to have blame;
Change thou thy way so evil begun,
And then my lute shall sound that same:
But if till then my fingers play
By thy desert their wonted way,
Blame not my lute.”

That any may find
Within one heart so diverse mind,
To change or turn as weather and wind?
