Sir Thomas Wyatt has supplied following gifts to English literature:

(a) The Italian terza rima stanza of 12 line in groups of three lines, interlinked in various ways, “ab a, be, b, c dc, and dc, d”.

(b) The Ottava rima-a stanza of eight lines with a complicated rhyme pattern.

(c) He re-established English prosody which had collapsed and lost its balance as result of the linguistic change of the 15^th century.

(d) In his short lyrics and songs he combines the sweetness, the simplicity, the melody, and the spontaneity of the medieval minstrels and the courtly grace, delicacy and the dignity of a man of learning and culture.
