text: Forget not yet the tried intent
  Of such a truth as I have meant;
  My great travail so gladly spent,
              Forget not yet.
  
     Forget not yet when first began
  The weary life ye know, since whan
  The suit, the service, none tell can;
              Forget not yet.
  
     Forget not yet the great assays,
  The cruel wrong, the scornful ways;
  The painful patience in denays,
              Forget not yet.
  
     Forget not yet, forget not this,
  How long ago hath been and is
  The mind that never meant amiss;
              Forget not yet.
  
     Forget not then thine own approved,
  The which so long hath thee so loved,
  Whose steadfast faith yet never moved;
              Forget not this.
