"If Love now Reigned as it hath been" Henry VIII, King of England

If love now reigned as it hath been  And were rewarded as it hath sin,  Noble men then would sure ensearch  All ways whereby they might it reach, But envy reigneth with such disdain  And causeth lovers outwardly to refrain, Which puts them to more and more Inwardly most grievous and sore.  The fault in whom I cannot set,  But let them tell which love doth get--  To lovers I put now sure this case:  Which of their loves doth get them grace?  And unto them which doth it know  Better than do I, I think it so.
