NOTT.
SONNET XLII.
Poco era ad appressarsi agli occki mid.
SUCH ARE HIS SUFFERINGS THAT HE ENVIES THE INSENSIBILITY OF MARBLE.
HAD but the light which dazzled them afar Drawn but a little nearer to mine eyes, Methinks I would have wholly changed my form, Even as in Thessaly her form she changed : But if I cannot lose myself in her More than I have small mercy though it won I would to-day in aspect thoughtful be, Of harder stone than chisel ever wrought, Of adamant, or marble cold and white, Per...chance through terror, or of jasper rare And therefore prized by the blind greedy crowd. Then were I free from this hard heavy yoke Which makes me envy Atlas, old and worn, Who with his shoulders brings Morocco night. ANON 54 PETRARCH.
MADRIGALE I.
Non al suo amante piu Diana piacque.
ANYTHING THAT REMINDS HIM OP LAURA RENEWS HIS TORMENTS.
NOT Dian to her lover was more dear, When fortune 'mid the waters cold and clear, Gave him her naked beauties all to see, Than seem'd the rustic ruddy nymph to me, Who, in yon flashing stream, the light veil laved, Whence Laura's lovely tresses lately waved ; I saw, and through me felt an amorous chill, Though summer burn, to tremble and to thrill.
