Sir Thomas Wyatt English poet and statesman
WORDS ABOUT WORDS
Throughout the world if it were sought,
Fair words enough a man shall find,
They be good cheap, they cost right nought,
Their substance is but only wind,
But well to say, and so to mean,
That sweet accord is seldom seen.
—Sir Thomas Wyatt, English poet and statesman, "Throughout the world if it were sought", 1557
