"In contrast to the prevalent poetry in Renaissance, "Metaphysical poetry is less concerned with expressing feeling than with analyzing it, with the poet exploring the recesses of his consciousness"(Encyclopædia Britannica Online Academic Edition)": I am sorry to say, according to amongst others, Peter Hühn, this claim is wrong. Terribly wrong. No Renaissance writer aimed at mainly expressing feelings.
