FORGET not yet the tried intent 
Of such a truth as I have meant; 
My great travail so gladly spent, 
Forget not yet! 

Forget not yet when first began 
The weary life ye know, since whan 
The suit, the service, none tell can; 
Forget not yet! 

Forget not yet the great assays, 
The cruel wrong, the scornful ways, 
The painful patience in delays, 
Forget not yet! 

Forget not! O, forget not this!-- 
How long ago hath been, and is, 
The mind that never meant amiss-- 
Forget not yet! 

Forget not then thine own approved, 
The which so long hath thee so loved, 
Whose steadfast faith yet never moved: 
Forget not this!
