American lit. & British lit. Poems??

Question

I'm trying to think of some poems my class studied in high school. I'm not sure if it was american lit or british lit.

Basically any poems that surround courtly love. I specifically remember reading William Shakespeares sonnet 130 "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" because that poem somewhat mocked every one elses. There's also another peom i remember, don't know the guy's name but he was obsessed with this woman but she wasn't feeling him and he didn't care. He sent her flowers, but she sent them back and he was happy b/c at least she breathed on them. He wanted to keep the her cup b./c her lips touched it......anybody good with literature or poetry please help.
