National Poetry Month #8 - Nicholas Grimald - To His Familiar Friend

[Image: Couldn’t find an image of Grimald I liked, so here is Lady Jane Seymour]

Please don’t get whiplash as we jump from the 21st century back to the 16th. Five hundred years back to pre-Elizabethan England, a time full of intrigue and betrayal, the end of the Reformation, the death of Henry VIII, the short reign of Queen Jane, and the bloody ascension of Mary I to the English throne. I’m no expert in this time period. Bob Blair probably is. I was, however, intrigued with Nicholas Grimald, who, while not a member of the nobility, seems to have ingratiated himself to many of it members of the time period.

This is a time when poetry was going through significant changes, and when it was one of the forms of messaging between the younger people at court. I base this partly on a volume known as Tottel’s Miscellany (“Songs and Sonnettes”) which was the first general poetry anthology of its day, and was widely popular in Elizabethan times - even quoted by Shakespeare in his plays.

The larger share of Richard Tottel’s volume was made up of poems by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, and Sir Thomas Wyatt. Grimald’s poems show up heavily in the first edition, which he probably helped edit, and sparsely in others. He fell out of favor when he renounced his Protestant faith after being imprisoned when Mary took the throne, and betrayed his mentor Bishop Nicholas Ridley and two others who was later burned at the stake. (I’m skipping over a lot of details here). He also may have composed some of the first blank verse published in English. The few poems by Grimald that weren’t tossed out in later editions were marked only with his initials, N.G..

In addition to the sonnets that the book is most noted for, there were many other poems. About 39 were originally by Grimald, and a few by other known authors, but over ninety were miscellaneous pieces of unknown authorship (hence the original name of the book). Some are essentially love letters, some are gossip, some are insults - it’s quite a grab-bag of forms and topics. Some of them make sense, and some of them, well, imagine what a historian might think when dredging through your text messages five hundred years from now.

My theory (based on no expertise whatsoever) was that Grimald either collected these and gave them to Tottel, or perhaps the reason he was tolerated at Court was that he penned them for the gentry. Some of the likely pieces written by Grimald are to Lady Jane Seymour (third wife of Henry VIII) and her sisters, and two probable romantic interests, Carrie Day and Damascene Awdley. He never married, and little is documented about his later life. Perhaps by sharing the court notes he made himself more of a social pariah than his betrayal or his conversion to Catholicism.

So what is today’s poem? After such a long introduction it is something very short: an Epigram - one based on a work by a French author of the period, Marc Antoine Muret:

To His Familiar Friend

[Proofed against the 1557 'A' edition of Tottel's Miscellany, #148; based on an epigram by Muretus --Steve]

NO IMAGE carved with cunning hand, no cloth of purple dye, No precious weight of metal bright, no silver plate give I: Such gear allures not heavily hearts: such gifts no grace they bring: I lo, yet know your mind, will send none such, what then? nothing. -- Nicholas Grimald

Or, in short, I knew you wouldn’t want anything fancy as a gift, so I didn’t get you anything.

-- Steve

It was no dream, for I lay broad awaking. But all is turned now, through my gentleness, Into a bitter fashion of forsaking; And I have leave to go, of her goodness, And she also to use newfangleness. But since that I unkindly so am served, How like you this? What hath she now deserved?

Sir Thomas Wyatt the elder (1503-42), from “The Lover Showeth How He is Forsaken of Such as He Sometime Enjoyed” (Tottel’s miscellany, 1557)

Quote

William Shakespeare is the acknowledged master of the poetic form referred to as the Elizabethan or Shakespearian sonnet. However, Shakespeare did not create the English sonnet form and although his name is often synonomous with it, this is largely down to the popularity of his verses. The English sonnet form was created by the two principal poets of Tottel's Miscellany, Henry Howard and Sir Thomas Wyatt. Both poets were keen classicists and translators of Italian poetry, particularly of Virgil and Petrarch. Wyatt introduced the Petrarchian sonnet to English, but it is Howard who adapted the rhyme scheme. Classic Italian sonnets contain fourteen lines divided into an octave (first eight lines) and a sextet (last six lines). Howard's English sonnet kept the fourteen-line structure, but divided this into three quatrains (four-line alternate rhythms) [finishing] with a two-line couplet.
