Analysis

• The title suggests a deer is already caught and this is reinforced by the end of the poem where Wyatt utilises Latin phrase "Noli me tangere, for Cesars i ame"
• "Whoso list to hount, i knowe where is an hynde" - The first line details how the writer proposes a challenge to the reader to attain the courtly love of the woman. The conceit is first recognised here and carries throughout the poem of this notion that the attaining the love of the woman is of number one importance. This is very similar to TGG, where Fitzgerald very early on establishes the extended metaphor of the "single green light.. across the dock" Where Daisy's house is situated, almost glaring Gatsby in the eyes similarly proposing this form of a challenge.
• "the vayne travaill hath weried me so sore" The assonance of the "so sore" partnered with the verb "weried" emphasises the pain the speaker had to endure to try and attain this courtly love. The raw emotion depicted in the phrase "so sore" almost mimics a heart ache and a crying out of pain. This is similarly seen in TGG, where Gatsby "Pale as death" reunites with Daisy and his heart is almost seemingly dis-assmebled from his person. The true pain that it has caused both the speaker and Gatsby here to try and attain the love of their respective women has sucked the life out of them.
• "May i by no means my weried mynde draw me from the deere" - The speaker details his tunnel vision approach to trying to secure the love of the woman. He disdains any bad fortune or adversity coming his way. This is much like TGG where Gatsby was "standing alone on his marble steps" "not drinking" as he desperately rejects the party culture that only brings a disorientated state of mind. Instead he remains tunnel vision just like the speaker and he stays composed on his true goal.
• "But as she fleeth afore *Enjambment and next paragraph* Faynting i followe". The enjambment tells us that the speaker is going to extreme, new extents to continue this pursuit, as the leading of the line into a new stanza mimics this. This is similarly seen when Daisy "fleeth afore" back home with Tom after the dismal scene of Myrtle's death, and Gatsby follows them to their home to stalk their movements. Gatsby previously was watching from across the bay, but his movement have become more extreme and desperate now that he sides in the bushes "Watching over nothing"
• "I seke to hold the wynde" - The metaphor explains the futility of this love. The wind, representing the womens love, will only slip between his fingers and pass by. Much like in The Great Gatsby where Fitzgerald similarly uses a metaphor to express the futility of Gatsby's pursuit for Daisy "So i walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing" Gatsby is left in a state of vigil, wasting his time, looking over the "careless people" who do not consider him in their comfortable affair.
• "i put him owte of doubt" - The speaker has now switched his opinion of the pursuit to attain the love of the women. No one has a chance at entertaining her, for she is already claimed from someone with dominance and great wealth (Henry VIII). Similarly in Gatsby, Fitzgerald deploys Gatsby's out of character remark "Her voice is full of money" Gatsby, coming from a place of New Money, doesn't quite fit Daisy's expectations of a partner. Gatsby will be perpetually subordinate to Tom who is from Old Money, a more dominant and affluent source of money, which Daisy is captivated by.
• 'And graven with diamondes in letters plain There is written around her faier neck rounde abowte: Noli Me tangere, for Cesars i am" The dominance of presumably Henry VIII, has meant he has asserted his wealth upon her and maintains it through conspicuous consumption. This is gravely similar to how Tom exercises his income through conspicuous consumption to dominantly to maintain the love of Daisy. He very similarly to the poem bought her "A string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars" hence Daisy is effectively branded by this expensive item to stay with Tom.
• The perspective of the poem is that it relates to the patriarchal context of the 1600s, where the women belongs to the man ("For Cesars i am")
• The poem suggests that even with the masculine threat of violence and aggression, the female cannot be tamed and made obedient. This is similar to TGG where Tom and Gatsby have their tense argument over Daisy. Gatsby urges Daisy to admit she never loved Tom, whilst channelling an aggressive tone. She is able to say "I never loved him" Regarding Tom, and even through this conflicting remark she then returns to the subservience to Tom in the end when they retreat back into their riches, signalling how females in this context cannot be tamed.
• Both Gatsby and the speaker leave their pursuits ambiguously. It is unclear whether they have accepted the failure of their pursuits. For the speaker, he "seme tame" but beneath he is vexed.Or it could mean he is seemingly tame and accepts the circumstances. For Gatsby, he found what "Grotesque thing a rose is" upon his death, which could symbolise how Gatsby has finally realised that Daisy never wanted true love, however it could mean he has realised that true love is grotesque and not Daisy.The ambiguous endings signify the confusing nature of accepting grief when losing someone you loved.
