Madonna non so dir tante parole
o uoi uolet' o no se uoi uolete
oprat' al gran bisogn' il uostro senno
che uoi saret' intesa per un cenno
& se d' un che semp' arde al fin ui duole
un bel si un bel no mi rispondete
se sar' un si un si scriuero 'n rima
se sar' un no amici come prima
uoi trouerret' un' altr' amante & io
Non potend' esser uostro sar mio

"To a lady to answer directly with yea or nay" (Tottel's title).

Lines 1-2: "Madam, (I will be) brief once I know whether or not you will (assent to my offer, or make up your mind)": Wyatt promises action, not words.

Withouten: without Back to Line

An "Answer" by a brisk lady appears in the Egerton MS but is evidently not by Wyatt:

Of few words, sir, you seem to be;
And where I doubted what I would do
Your quick request hath caused me
Quickly to tell you what you shall trust to,
For he that will be called with a beck
Makes haste suit on light desire,
Is ever ready to the check,
And burneth in no wasting fire.
Therefore, whether you be lief or loath
And whether it give you light or sore,
I am at a point I have made an oath:
Content you with nay, for you get no more.
