Round 7: Tossup 14

A phase named for this author follows “Native” poetry in the preface to a poetry anthology by John Williams. Yvor (“ee-vor”) Winters opposed “sugared” poetry influenced by this author, favoring the “plain style” of Barnabe Googe (“gooj”) and George Gascoigne (“GAS-coin”). Separate poets (-5[1])interpreted a conclusion by this author as “For good is the life ending faithfully” and “Sweet is the death that taketh end by love.” A later poet rendered this author’s warning “Let no one touch me” as the (-5[1])Latin “Noli me tangere” (10[1]-5[3])when it appears (-5[1])on a bejeweled (-5[1])necklace (-5[2])worn by a hind. (10[1]-5[2])Tottel’s Miscellany (-5[1])collected imitations of this author like “My galley chargèd with forgetfulness,” “Love, that doth reign and live within my thought,” and “Whoso list to hunt” (10[1])by the Earl of Surrey and Sir (-5[1])Thomas (-5[1])Wyatt. (10[1])For 10 points, an octet and sestet (10[1])comprise (10[2])a sonnet form (-5[1])named for what Italian poet? (10[2])■END■ (10[12])

ANSWER: Petrarch [or Francesco Petrarca; or Francesco di Petracco; accept Petrarchan sonnet or Petrarchism] (The anthology is English Renaissance Poetry. Petrarch’s Rime 140 was adapted by Wyatt and Surrey into “The long love that in my thought doth harbor” and Love, that doth reign and live within my thought.”)
