Full poem text, public domain (also available in subtitles):
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 to Hunt, I Know where is an Hind, written by Sir Thomas Wyatt. Narrated by Jordan Harling.
