Default would u plz help me understanding this poem

its a poem for Sir Thomas Wyatt called "Each Man Me Telleth"

i can't understand whats the meaning of "telleth"

and also i wanna a parsphrase for this poem , plz and thank u

Each man me telleth I change most my device,
And on my faith, me think it good reason
To change propose like after the season,
For in every case, to keep still one guise
Is meet for them that would be taken wise;
And I am not of such manner condition,
But treated after a diverse fashion,
And thereupon my diverseness doth rise.
But you that blame this diverseness most,
Change you no more, but still after one rate,
Treat ye me well, and keep ye in the same state.
And while with me doth dwell this wearied ghost,
My word nor I shall not be variable,
But always one, your own, both firm and stable.



i think the poem is a kind of satire abuot people who are totally crazy about fashion
and they treat everyone according to what he or she wears
