Sir Thomas Wyatt. "Speak thou and speed where will or power ought helpeth."

THAT SPEAKING OR PROFFERING BRINGS
ALWAY SPEEDING.

PEAK thou and speed where will or power
ought helpeth
Where power doth want, will must be
won by wealth :
For need will speed, where will works not his kind ;
And gain thy foes thy friends shall cause thee find :
For, suit and gold, what do not they obtain ?
Of good and bad the tryers are these twain.
