Since love is such that as ye wot

Cannot always be wisely used,

I say, therefore, then blame me not,

Though I therein have been abused.

For as with cause I am accused,

Guilty I grant such was my lot;

And though it cannot be excused,

Yet let such folly be forgot.

(Sir Thomas Wyatt: That the power of love excuseth the folly of loving, ab. 1550.)
