HELP...PLz!!!?

"Whoso List To Hunt"


by





Sir Thomas Wyatt





Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,


But as for me, hélas, I may no more.


The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,


I am of them that farthest 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,


Sithens 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 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.


------------------------------


Whoso list: whoever wishes


hind: female deer


hélas: alas


vain travail: futile labor


deer: playing on the word "dear"


Sithens: since


Noli me tangere: "touch me not"





The theme of "Whoso List to Hunt" is:


a - beauty.


b - unrequited love.


c - marriage.


d - None of the above.





Thank you so MUCH!

I believe that would be B. The doe is a woman whom the writer has tried to flatter with jewelry and love letters but she refuses to let him touch her as she belongs to another.
Reply:B. is the CORRECT answer.
