Have you looked through the poems of Sir Thomas Wyatt ( 16th Century) and / or Thomas Warton (poet Laureate - end of 18th Century) ?
Nothing springs to my mind unfortunately
Slaney- you are an absolute star!!! I realise now that you said this before but I think I was so bogged down with words your answer didn't register with me then. Thanks for beng so patient with me!!!!
Kettledrum -thanks for taking an interest. I feel as if I've searched through every poet that has ever put pen to paper - and then I go and miss the obvious!
