Brief Author Bio:

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, alas, I may no more.
The vain travail hath worried me so sore,
I am of them that furthest come behind.
Yet may I, by no means, my worried 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.
Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,
As well as I, may spend his time in vain.
And graven in 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."
- Sir Thomas Wyatt the Elder
