Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCC DEDFFG AHAHHIIThey flee from me that sometime did me seek | A |
With naked foot stalking within my chamber | B |
Once have I seen them gentle tame and meek | A |
That now are wild and do not once remember | B |
That sometime they have put themselves in danger | B |
To take bread at my hand and now they range | C |
Busily seeking in continual change | C |
- | |
Thanked be fortune it hath been otherwise | D |
Twenty times better but once especial | E |
In thin array after a pleasant guise | D |
When her loose gown did from her shoulders fall | F |
And she me caught in her arms long and small | F |
And therewithal so sweetly did me kiss | G |
And softly said 'Dear heart how like you this ' | - |
- | |
It was no dream for I lay broad awaking | A |
But all is turn'd now through my gentleness | H |
Into a bitter fashion of forsaking | A |
And I have leave to go of her goodness | H |
And she also to use new fangleness | H |
But since that I unkindly so am serv egrave d | I |
'How like you this ' what hath she now deserv egrave d | I |
