SONG: 99, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love whom ye list and spare not
Last Line: For I am indifferent.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wyat, Thomas
Subject(s): Hate; Love


Love whom ye list and spare not;
Therewith I am content.
Hate whom ye list for I care not,
For I am indifferent.

Do what ye list and dread not
After your own fancy.
Think what you list and fear not
For all is one to me.

But as for me I am not
Wavering as the wind
But even as one that recketh not
Which way ye turn your mind.

For in your love I dote not,
[Though you think I am caught.]
Whether you hate or hate not
Is least charge of my thought.

Wherefore I pray you forget not
But that I am well content.
So love whom ye list and spare not
For I am indifferent.
