  &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Sir Thomas Wyatt wrote these two famous poems inspired
by Henry VIII's tragic second queen.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;

  &lt;img SRC=&quot;_httpdocimg_/anne1.jpg&quot; ALT=&quot;portrait of Anne Boleyn&quot; height=194 width=150 align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Wyatt was born in 1503 at Allington Castle, Kent.&amp;nbsp; He was the
son of Henry Wyatt and Anne Skinner, and was educated at St John's College,
part of Cambridge University.&amp;nbsp; He entered the diplomatic service of
Henry VIII around 1526, just as the king's rumored passion for Anne Boleyn
began to attract notice.&amp;nbsp; Wyatt himself was infatuated with Anne Boleyn,
but found his desires thwarted by the king.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
    &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;It has often been rumored that Anne was Wyatt's mistress before Henry
VIII fell in love with her, but there is little evidence to support an
actual physical relationship.&amp;nbsp; Both she and Wyatt were witty and flirtatious.&amp;nbsp; 
    They enjoyed each other's company, and there is no doubt Wyatt wished for
more personal favors - but he was rebuffed, and for the simple reason that
Anne had more glittering prospects (namely, the king of England himself.)&amp;nbsp;
Hence the bitter tone of the Petrarchan sonnet opposite.&amp;nbsp; It is an intriguing
portrait of Anne and specifically mentions her attachment to the king.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
    &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Incidentally, Wyatt was sent on a diplomatic mission to Italy in 1527.&amp;nbsp;
It was perhaps an attempt by Henry VIII to rid the court of a potential
rival.&amp;nbsp; Wyatt's association with Anne haunted him again in 1536 when
he was imprisoned for having carnal knowledge of the queen.&amp;nbsp; Anne
was executed but Wyatt was freed.&amp;nbsp; He served as English
ambassador to Spain for two years (1537-39) but suffered imprisonment again
in 1541 when Thomas Cromwell fell from power and the Norfolk faction briefly
gained ascendancy over the king.&amp;nbsp; Once again, Wyatt did not remain
imprisoned long, but he died on 11 October 1542 of unknown causes.&amp;nbsp;
He had long since deserted his wife, Elizabeth Brooke, and was living with
his mistress, Elizabeth Darrell, and their only child Francis.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
    &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;As for his poetry, Wyatt's work was circulated in manuscript during
his lifetime and often highly praised. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;

&lt;font size=-1&gt;The first poem was perhaps based upon Petrarch's sonnet #190.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;font size=-1&gt;The Latin phrase 'Noli me tangere' is taken from the
Vulgate; it is translated as 'Touch me not'.&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;font size=-1&gt;The poem is believed to be a direct comment upon Henry VIII's infatuation
for Anne, her character, and her newfound importance at the English
court.&lt;/font&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;
&lt;font size=-1&gt;In the second poem, 'The thing ye seek for' is, of course, sex.&amp;nbsp; This 
      work, though undated, was probably written after
Anne and Henry were wed in 1533.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps Wyatt had been rebuffed
by Anne once again; the poem is certainly churlish enough.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td width=&quot;4%&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot; width=&quot;48%&quot;&gt;

&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;'Whoso List to Hunt, I Know Where Is An Hind'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
&lt;br&gt;But as for me, hélas, I may no more.
&lt;br&gt;The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
&lt;br&gt;I am of them that farthest cometh behind.
&lt;br&gt;Yet may I by no means my wearied mind
&lt;br&gt;Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore
&lt;br&gt;Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
&lt;br&gt;Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.
&lt;br&gt;Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
&lt;br&gt;As well as I may spend his time in vain.
&lt;br&gt;And graven with diamonds in letters plain
&lt;br&gt;There is written, her fair neck round about:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Noli me tangere&lt;/i&gt;, for Caesar's I am,
&lt;br&gt;And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;hr WIDTH=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;'Ye Olde Mule'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;Ye old mule that think yourself so fair,
&lt;br&gt;Leave off with craft your beauty to repair,
&lt;br&gt;For it is true, without any fable,
&lt;br&gt;No man setteth more by riding in your saddle.
&lt;br&gt;Too much travail so do your train appair.
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ye old mule
&lt;br&gt;With false savour though you deceive th'air,
&lt;br&gt;Whoso taste you shall well perceive your lair
&lt;br&gt;Savoureth somewhat of a Kappurs stable.
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ye old mule
&lt;br&gt;Ye must now serve to market and to fair,
&lt;br&gt;All for the burden, for panniers a pair.
&lt;br&gt;For since gray hairs been powdered in your sable,
&lt;br&gt;The thing ye seek for, you must yourself enable
&lt;br&gt;To purchase it by payment and by prayer,
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ye old mule.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
