Classic Poem

Deme as ye list uppon goode cause
I maye and think of this or that,
But what or whye my self best knowes,
Wherebye I thinck and fere not;
But there unto I maye well think
The doubtefull sentence of this clause:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.

Ffor if I thought yt ware not soo,
Though yt ware so yt greved me not;
Unto my thought yt ware as tho
I harkenid tho I here not.
At that I see I cannot wynk,
Nor from mye thought so let it goo:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.

Lo how my thought might make me free
Of that perchaunce that nedeth nott;
Perchaunce no doubte the drede I see,
I shrink at that I bere not;
But in my harte this worde shall sink
Unto the proffe may better be:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.

Yf yt be not, shewe no cause whye
I shoulde so think, then care I not;
For I shall soo my self applie
To bee that I apere not;
That is as one that shall not shrink
To be your owne untill I dye:
And if yt be not as I think,
Lyke wyse to think yt is not.
