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 - Tekstslide

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 - Tekstslide

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.

Amoretti LXXV: One Day I Wrote her Name

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
"Vain man," said she, "that dost in vain assay,
A mortal thing so to immortalize;
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eke my name be wiped out likewise."
"Not so," (quod I) "let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your vertues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name:
Where whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew."
