- Sir Thomas Wyatt, or Wyatt the elder, served King Henry VIII of England as both a poet and an ambassador. Some historians think that he was in love with the young Anne Boleyn in the early 1520s. Some consider his poem, "Whoso List to Hunt" to be about her.
He was imprisoned in the Tower during Queen Anne's arrest and trial for treason, but was later released. None of Wyatt's works were published during his lifetime — the first book to feature his verse was printed a full 15 years after his death.
His son Thomas Wyatt the younger (1521–1554) led a failed Protestant rebellion during the reign of Queen Mary I known as "Wyatt's rebellion."

My senior chapter on Wyatt begins with W.E. Simonds' on Wyatt's best sonnet, "Whoso list to hunt," that "the versification [is] often rough and faulty." I add, that's true throughout Wyatt, in his failures as well as his best. Some critics say Wyatt mainly achieved as a translator and innovator of Italian and French verse.
His best sonnet follows the convention of "deer"/ "dear," loving like hunting, of which he is wearied,
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, helas, I may no more,
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
I am of the last that come behind....
I leave off therefore,
Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.
And ends with a reference to Caesar's Latin and his private deer:
"Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,
And wild for to hold, though I seem tame."
This last line is brilliant, and characteristic of Wyatt's prosody, with its medial
caesura: " hold [] though," both stressed; and its anapaest, "for to hold," and the spondaic
end rhyme, "seem [] tame," imaginative rhyme for "I am."
Wyatt's prosodic devices, monorhymes and medial casuras, produce linear parallelism, or less forward movement to the poem as a whole, hence less pointed ness in the climax, always at the end in sonnets, though not in Donne, where "The Apparition" climaxes in the middle.… (mehr)
