- Comments:
- LION mistakenly attributes the poem to the first Lord Vaux (Nicholas) who died c. 1523. ODNB notes: 'The following poem in Tottel's miscellany (no. 212 in Rollins's edition), headed The Aged Lover Renounceth Love and beginning I Lothe that I did love, is again unattributed, but ascribed to [Thomas] Vaux in two contemporary manuscript miscellanies (Bodl. Oxf., MS Ashmole 48 and BL, Harley MS 1703); in the second of these it is said to have been written during the reign of Queen Mary.'
