The second quatrain of "I find no peace" by Thomas Wyatt is characterized by the use of the sound "eth" at the end of some words and mainly in the first line. Contrarily of the first quatrain, here, the narrator, doesn't act like a protagonist. He is in "prison" because he is subdued by a force that imprison him, and, this situation is highlighted by the oppositions: looseth-locketh/holdeth-scape/live-die. Another point to focus on is the repetition of "nor/not/no" that emphasis the "not being the protagonist" of the poet.
