from Will and Testament
The time is come I must depart
from thee, oh famous City –
I never yet, to rue my smart,
did find that thou hadst pity –
Wherefore small cause there is that I
should grieve from thee to go,
But many women foolishly,
like me, and other moe,
Do such a fixèd fancy set
on those which least deserve,
That long it is ere wit we get
away from them to swerve.
– Isabella Whitney (1573)
