Forget not yet the tried intentOf such a truth as I have meant;My great travail so gladly spent, Forget not yet.

Forget not yet when first beganThe weary life ye know, since whanThe 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 isThe 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.
