520 |a In lyric poems written prior to the sixteenth century, proverbs often appear as moralistic refrains. In contrast to this didactic tradition, Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) incorporates proverbs into his lyric poems as a form of ironic commentary on himself and others. Wyatt associates the proverb not with wisdom but with foolish behavior. He insults other people by implying that they behave in concert with the common types of behavior summarized by proverbs. His scorn for proverbs is reflected in his visible struggle not to use proverbs to describe his own situations; sometimes however, he concedes that he too acts "as they say."
