Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880.
Songs and EpigramsThat Pleasure is mixed with every Pain
V
Bear flowers, we see, full fresh and fair of hue:
Poison is also put in medicine,
And unto man his health doth oft renew:
The fire that all things eke consumeth clean
May hurt and heal: then if that this be true,
I trust sometime my harm may be my health,
Since every woe is joined with some wealth.
