Question
This man uses his “vigorous warmth” to scatter “his Maker’s image” in the opening lines of a satirical poem set before “priest-craft did begin” and “before polygamy was made a sin.” A poem attributed to this man was expanded into the first English sonnet sequence, a “meditation” by Anne Locke. In Renaissance Self-Fashioning, Stephen Greenblatt notes that a cycle by Thomas Wyatt may make a veiled comparison between this man and Henry VIII, since Wyatt could not safely say to Henry, “Thou art the man.” Pietro (*) Aretino’s paraphrase of a set of “penitential” poems attributed to this man influenced Tudor poets. In the King James Version, this man tells Nathan that a thief who steals a ewe lamb “shall surely die,” not realizing he is judging himself. For 10 points, what king appears in John Dryden’s Absalom and Achitophel, and was thought to have sought forgiveness for seducing Bathsheba in his Psalms? ■END■
