A tad earlier, even, but a very close relationship, in a way, as in the following:
Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,
But as for me, helas! I may no more.
The vain travail hath worried me so sore,
I am of them that furthest come behind.
Yet may I by no means, my worried mind
Draw from the deer; but as she fleeth afore
Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,
Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.
I think the name of the poet will suffice, especially since his poems are all known by their first lines.
