Thomas Watson (poet)
Thomas Watson (1555–1592) was an English lyrical poet. He wrote in both English and Latin, and was particularly admired for the compositions in Latin. His unusual 18 line sonnets were influential, though their form was not generally imitated.
==Early life==
Watson was the son of William Watson (d. 1559) and Anne Lee (d. 1561).〔Alhiyari, Ibrahim, ‘Thomas Watson: ''New Biographical Evidence and his Translation of Antigone''’, PhD dissertation, Texas State University, May 2006: http://etd.lib.ttu.edu/theses/available/etd-04122006-154851/〕 He was educated at Winchester College and Oxford University.〔''The Oxford Companion to English Literature'' 7th e., edited by Dinah Birch (Oxford: OUP, 2009), p. 1050.〕 He then spent seven years in France and Italy before studying law in London. Though he often signed his works as "student of law", he never practised law as his true passion was literature.〔“Watson, Thomas.” ''British Authors Before 1800: A Biographical Dictionary''. 1952.〕
Watson's ''De remedio amoris'', perhaps his earliest important composition, is lost, as is his "piece of work written in the commendation of women-kind", which was also in Latin verse. The earliest surviving work by Watson is a 1581 Latin version of ''Antigone (Sophocles)|Antigone'' dedicated to Philip Howard, 20th Earl of Arundel. It also contains an appendix of Latin allegorical poems and experiments in classical metres.
