SIR THOMAS WYATT (WYAT)
English diplomatist and poet
(1503? - 1542)

For he that believeth, bearing in hand,
  Plougheth in the water, and soweth in the sand.

Fair words enough a man shall find,
  They be good cheap: they cost right nought,
    Their substance is but only wind.
      - Of Dissembling Words [Words]

Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever.
      - Songs and Sonnets--A Renouncing of Love

Therefore fear not to assay
  To gather, ye that may,
    The flower that this day
      Is fresher than the next.
      - That the Season of Enjoyment is Short
        [Time]

For like to like, the proverb saith.

My fearful trust "en vogant la galere." [Come what may.]
      - The Lover Prayeth Venue [Fate]

For as saith a proverb notable,
  Each thing seeketh his semblable.
      - The Re-cured Lover [Comparison]
