'Who so list to hounte I know where is an hynde' (p. 525) //Who so list to hounte, I know where is an hynde//
 * Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) **

Who so list to hounte, I know where is an hynde, But as for me, helas, I may no more. The vayne travaill hath weried me so sore, I ame of theim that farthest cometh behinde. Yet may I by no meanes my weried mynde Drawe from the Diere: but as she fleeth afore Faynting I folowe. I leve of therefore, Sithens in a nett I seke to hold the wynde. Who list her hount, I put him owte of dowbte, As well as I may spend his tyme in vain. And graven with Diamondes in letters plain There is written her faier neck rounde abowte: „Noli me tangere for Cesars I ame, And wylde for to hold though I seme tame.“ The idea of hunting, stalking, preying on a woman...as if it was a sport and she was the prize...sets the tone of the poem. I’m really not good with accented and unaccented syllable but I can see that the first line starts differently to the normal iambic pentameter of the rest of the sonnet. Its got an almost out of breath feel to it, like he’s on his way back from the hunt. Also the assonance in the first line is really effective with ‘who’ ‘so’ ‘hount’ ‘know’ ‘hynde’, it adds to the breathlessness of the speaker with the use of the ‘h’ and ‘o’ sound. This heightens the effect of the next line in which the caesura slows his emotions right down as we can appreciate the realisation he comes to that he can't chase her anymore!
