I am as I am and so will I be,
But how that I am none knoweth truly,
Be it evil be it well, be I bond, be I free,
I am as I am and so will I be.I lead my life indifferently,
I mean nothing but honestly,
And though folks judge full diversely,
I am as I am and so will I die.I do not rejoice nor yet complain,
Both mirth and sadness I do refrain,
And use the mean since folks will feign,
Yet I am as I am be it pleasure or pain.Diverse do judge as they do trow,
Some of pleasure and some of woe,
Yet for all that no thing they know,
But [I] am as I am where so ever I go.But since judgers do thus decay,
Let every man his judgement say,
I will it take in sport and play,
For I am as I am who so ever say nay.Who judgeth well, well God him send;
Who judgeth evil, God them amend;
To judge the best therefore intend,
For I am as I am and so will I end.
Yet some there be that take delight
To judge folks' thought for envy and spite,
But whether they judge me wrong or right,
I am as I am and so do I write.Praying you all that this do read,
To trust it as you do your creed,
And not to think I change my weed,
For I am as I am how ever I speed.But how that is I leave to you;
Judge as ye list, false or true;
Ye know no more than afore ye knew;
Yet I am as I am whatever ensue.And from this mind I will not flee,
But to you all that misjudge me,
I do protest as ye may see,
That I am as I am and so will I be.Thomas Wyatt
