Sonnet clarifications?[edit]

Wyatt

Currently, the article states:

"Both Locke and Wyatt composed one sonnet per line of the psalm, except for verses 1 and 4, which are each glossed with two poems."

This seems wrong on a couple of levels: 1) Wyatt's versification of Psalm 51 (Miserere mei domine, "Rue on me lord...") is in terza rima (27 tercets plus concluding line), not sonnets; according to Harrier (the edition I have to hand) these are disposed thus: Verse 1 = 9 lines, V2=6, V3=3, V4=11, V5=6, V6=8, V7=4, V8=4, V9=2, V10=2, V11=2, V12=2, V13=3, V14=1, V15=6, V16=5, V17=3, V18=3, V19=3 (as you see, they don't match up evenly with tercets). So it is certainly true that Wyatt's versifications of lines 1 and 4 are -- like Locke's -- his longest. But unless I'm very confused, the current description is not right.

  • NB: it turns out that 1 & 4 are the longest verses of Psalm 51, so their extended treatment is "by the book". In fact in some translations these Psalm verses are actually represented by 2 pairs of parallel lines, as opposed to the other verses which are represented by 1 pair, or 1 triplet (though I'm a little fuzzy on just what texts Wyatt & Locke might have had in front of them).

Is there a reason that the discussion of how Locke settled on her rime scheme seems to disregard Tottel's Miscellany? While she could not have brought it with her to Geneva (it was published in England just after she arrived), I see no reason she couldn't have gotten a hold of a copy between 1557 and 1560. There are several representatives of her rime scheme on its first dozen or so pages. Phil wink (talk) 23:57, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
