A detailed page devoted to Henry VIII, to whom Wyatt was a trusted advisor. That is, you know, until Wyatt was accused of an affair with Henry's wife.

Wyatt's poems first appeared in this book, which has an adorably goofy title, if we may say so.

Here, a rather creepily animated portrait of Thomas Wyatt recites the poem for your (dis)pleasure.

Well, we can't hear it in the voice of long-deceased Wyatt, but at least poet Geoffrey Hill is around to help us out.

Thomas Wyatt's son, who was executed for his role in a rebellion. He also has quite the beard, although it's a bit shorter than his father's.

Here's an awesome peek at the way the poem appeared when it was first published in Tottel's Miscellany. You'll notice it had a different title in this book: "The lover showeth how he is forsaken of such as he sometime enjoyed." It's a little clunky, but it certainly gets the point across.

And here's the title page from Tottel's Miscellany, published in 1557. Pretty neat, if we may say so.

A show on Showtime in which Thomas Wyatt is a character (played by Jamie King). This show is not recommended viewing for the kiddies. If this is a PG-13 poem, then The Tudors is a rated-R show.
