More cat shenanigans
![Who list his wealth and ease retain,
Himself let him unknown contain.
Press not too fast in at that gate
Where the return stands by disdain,
For sure, circa Regna tonat.
The high mountains are blasted oft
When the low valley is mild and soft.
Fortune with Health stands at debate;
The fall is grievous from aloft,
And sure, circa Regna tonat.
These bloody days have broken my heart.
My lust, my youth did them depart,
And blind desire of estate.
Who hastes to climb seeks to revert.
Of truth, circa Regna tonat.
The Bell Tower showed me such sight
That in my head sticks day and night.
There did I lean out of a grate,
For all favour, glory, or might,
That yet circa Regna tonat.
By proof, I say, there did I learn:
Wit helpeth not defence too yern [eager],
Of innocency to plead or prate.
Bear low, therefore, give God the stern,
For sure, circa Regna tonat.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:57xkqzxj5wafn4vfuntwdx4d/bafkreierm6v5fs4ebjix2dtxz4yhn5mfsndpxlnqaewgwb2i7n4qthnkwq)

If you’re enjoying the new BBC Wolf Hall, I have a poem for you. Written by Thomas Wyatt, the line about ‘the belltower’ to seems almost certainly to attest to the fact that he witnessed the execution of Anne Boleyn while imprisoned in the Tower of London someflowerssoon.substack.com/p/the-bell-t...
