    And wilt thou leave me thus?

    In wealth and woe among:

    Say nay! say nay!

    There are a sort of men whose visages
    Do cream and mantle like a standing pond,
    And do a willful stillness entertain,
    With purpose to be dressed in an opinion
    Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit,
    As who should say, “I am Sir Oracle,
    And when I ope my lips let no dog bark!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If in the world there be more woe
    Than I have in my heart,
    Whereso it is, it doth come fro,
    And in my breast there doth it grow,
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    since I see
    Your double heart,
    Farewell my part!
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
