ells about his love for ana bolena and he tells about the impossibility of love because Ana Bolena cast him out. The King fuls distressed because he is in love. "i have been ready at your handto grant whatever you would cravei have both wagered life and landyour love and good-will for to have"He said the would stayat her hand and make anything for her, he will give anything she would crave.

Greensleeves is an old but beautiful love song and a very important one, because by analysing this song we can understand about the middle age and about the life of henry VIII, king of england. he names her as greensleeves, or my love. she os lady and thefore he is in loving vassalage he would make anything for her. he laments his heart is captured by her. "your vows you've broken, like my heartoh, why did you so enrapture me?now iremain in a world apartbut my heart remains in captivity"Henry VIII doesn´t understand why did ana bolena enrapture him if she doesn't want him. The author doesn't tell the name of the woman. The loving declaration obeys the convention specifially known as courtley love.
