Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880.

Songs and Epigrams

That speaking or proffering brings alway speeding

SPEAK thou and speed where will or power ought helpeth;

Where power doth want, will must be won by wealth:

For need will speed, where will works not his kind;

And gain thy foes thy friends shall cause thee find:

For suit and gold, what do not they obtain?

Of good and bad the tryers are these twain.
