Courtier
A person who is often at court.

A true uomo universale, a perfect human being, learned, civilized, elegant, well dressed, courageous, and a good fighter both in battle and in duels.

 grazia "grace" or charm that marks the true courtier  =
 everything he does should appear natural and effortless.

Slide 6 - Slide

The courtier has to be a man of many parts, at home in war as well as in peace, a man who will cut a good figure in an elegant conversation or when courting a lady. But it is impossible to reduce the courtier to any of his many roles; the feature that really defines him is none of his individual accomplishments but grazia ('grace').
Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542)
Courtier
Ambassador and adviser to the king (Henry VIII)
First person to translate Petrach/Petrarca (Italian) 
Went on to write his own poems in a similar style

Slide 7 - Slide

Remember that the artists of the English renaissance looked to the Italian renaissance artists and mimicked them.
Whoso List to Hunt
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, alas, I may no more.
The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,
I am of them that furthest cometh behind.
Yet may I by no means my wearied mind
Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore
Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.
Whoso list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
As well as I may spend his time in vain.
And graven with diamonds in letters plain
There is written, her fair neck round about:
Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,
And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.
