Petrarch - Poems
Who first to all my tender woes gave birth,
Woes! that estranged my sorrowing soul to mirth,
While full four lustres time completely made.
Sweet plant! that nursed on Avignon's sweet soil,
There bloom'd, there died; when soon the weeping Muse
Threw by the lute, forsook her wonted toil.
Bright spark of beauty, that still fires my breast!
What pitying mortal shall a prayer refuse,
That Heaven may number thee amid the blest?
ANON. 1777.
Here rest the chaste, the dear, the blest remains
Of her most lovely; peerless while on earth:
What late was beauty, spotless honour, worth,
Stern marble, here thy chill embrace retains.
The freshness of the laurel Death disdains;
And hath its root thus wither'd. --Such the dearth
O'ertakes me. Here I bury ease and mirth,
And hope from twenty years of cares and pains.
This happy plant Avignon lonely fed
With Life, and saw it die. --And with it lies
My pen, my verse, my reason;--useless, dead.
O graceful form! --Fire, which consuming flies
Through all my frame! --For blessings on thy head
Oh, may continual prayers to heaven rise!
CAPEL LOFFT.
Here now repose those chaste, those blest remains
Of that most gentle spirit, sole in earth!
Harsh monumental stone, that here confinest
True honour, fame, and beauty, all o'erthrown!
Death has destroy'd that Laurel green, and torn
Its tender roots; and all the noble meed
Of my long warfare, passing (if aright
My melancholy reckoning holds) four lustres.
O happy plant! Avignon's favour'd soil
Has seen thee spring and die;--and here with thee
Thy poet's pen, and muse, and genius lies.
O lovely, beauteous limbs! O vivid fire,
That even in death hast power to melt the soul!
Heaven be thy portion, peace with God on high!

Ahi bella liberta, come tu m' hai 93
Al cader d' una pianta che si svelse 273
Alla dolce ombra de le belle frondi 140
Alma felice, che sovente torni 246
Almo Sol, quella fronde ch' io sola amo 171
Amor che meco al buon tempo ti stavi 262
Amor che 'ncende 'l cor d' ardente zelo 167
Amor che nel pensier mio vive e regna 138
Amor, che vedi ogni pensiero aperto 155
Amor con la man destra il lato manco 203
Amor con sue promesse lusingando 79
Amor ed io si pien di maraviglia 153
Amor, Fortuna, e la mia mente schiva 113
Amor fra l' erbe una leggiadra rete 166
Amor, io fallo e veggio il mio fallire 207
Amor m' ha posto come segno a strale 131
Amor mi manda quel dolce pensero 159
Amor mi sprona in un tempo ed affrena 165
Amor, Natura, e la bell' alma umile 168
Amor piangeva, ed io con lui talvolta 25
Amor, quando fioria 279
Amor, se vuoi ch' i' torni al giogo antico 236
Anima bella, da quel nodo sciolta 263
Anima, che diverse cose tante 182
Anzi tre di creata era alma in parte 193
A pie de' colli ove la bella vesta 7
Apollo, s' ancor vive il bel desio 37
A qualunque animale alberga in terra 18
Arbor vittoriosa e trionfale 226
Aspro core e selvaggio, e cruda voglia 230
Aura, che quelle chiome bionde e crespe 202
Avventuroso piu d' altro terreno 102
Beato in sogno, e di languir contento 192
Benedetto sia 'l giorno e 'l mese e l' anno 61
Ben mi credea passar mio tempo omai 186
Ben sapev' io che natural consiglio 66
Cantai, or piango; e non men di dolcezza 203
Cara la vita, e dopo lei mi pare 225
Cereato ho sempre selitaria vita 223
Cesare, poi che 'l traditor d' Egitto 97
Che debb' io far? che mi consigli, Amore 233
Che fai, alma? che pensi? avrem mai pace 146
Che fai? che pensi? che pur dietro guardi 240
Chiare, fresche e dolci acque 116
Chi e fermato di menar sua vita 82
Chi vuol veder quantunque puo Natura 216
Come 'l candido pie per l' erba fresca 157
Come talora al caldo tempo suole 139
Come va 'l mondo! or mi diletta e piace 251
Conobbi, quanto il ciel gli occhi m' aperse 296
Cosi potess' io ben chiuder in versi 92
Da' piu begli occhi e dal piu chiaro viso 302
Datemi pace, o duri mici pensieri 240
Deh porgi mano all' affannato ingeguo 317
Deh qual pieta, qual angel fu si presto 297
Del cibo onde 'l signor mio sempre abbonda 298
Dell' empia Babilonia, ond' e fuggita 105
Del mar Tirreno alla sinistra riva 65
Dicemi spesso il mio fidato speglio 312
Dicesett' anni ha gia rivolto il cielo 112
Di di in di vo cangiando il viso e 'l pelo 176
Di pensier in pensier, di monte in monte 127
Discolorato hai, Morte, il piu bel volto 246
Di tempo in tempo mi si fa men dura 145
Dodici donne onestamente lasse 201
Dolce mio, caro e prezioso pegno 297
Dolci durezze e placide repulse 315
Dolci ire, dolci sdegni e dolci paci 182
Donna che lieta col Principio nostro 302
Due gran nemiche insieme erano aggiunte 257
Due rose fresehe, e colte in paradiso 215
D' un bel, chiaro, polito e vivo ghiaccio 181
E' mi par d' or in ora udire il messo 303
E questo 'l nido in che la mia Fenice 275
Era 'l giorno ch' al sol si scoloraro 3
Erano i capei d' oro all' aura sparsi 88
Far potess' io vendetta di colei 222
Fera stella (se 'l cielo ha forza in noi) 162
Fiamma dal ciel su le tue treccie piova 135
Fontana di dolore, albergo d' ira 137
Fresco, ombroso, fiorito e verde colle 213
Fu forse un tempo dolce cosa amore 299
Fuggendo la prigione ov' Amor m' ebbe 88
Gentil mia donna, i' veggio 74
Geri, quando talor meco s' adira 165
Gia desiai con si giusta querela 195
Gia fiammeggiava l' amorosa stella 36
Giovane donna sott'un verde lauro 34
Giunto Alessandro alla famosa tomba 170
Giunto m' ha Amor fra belle e crude braccia 161
Gli angeli eletti e l' anime beate 301
Gli occhi di ch' io parlai si caldamente 253
Gloriosa Colonna, in cui s' appoggia 9
Grazie ch' a pochi 'l ciel largo destina 192
I begli occhi, ond' i' fui percosso in guisa 78
I di miei piu leggier che nessun cervo 274
I dolci colli ov' io lasciai me stesso 190
I' ho pien di sospir quest' aer tutto 250
I' ho pregato Amor, e nel riprego 212
Il cantar novo e 'l pianger degli augelli 197
Il figliuol di Latona avea gia nove 45
Il mal mi preme, e mi spaventa il peggio 214
Il mio avversario, in cui veder solete 46
Il successor di Carlo, che la chioma 26
I' mi soglio accusare, ed or mi scuso 257
I' mi vivea di mia sorte contento 204
In dubbio di mio stato, or piango, or canto 219
In mezzo di duo amanti onesta altera 106
In nobil sangue vita umile e queta 194
In qual parte del cielo, in quale idea 153
In quel bel viso, ch' i' sospiro e bramo 222
In quella parte dov' Amor mi sprona 121
In tale stella duo begli occhi vidi 224
Io amai sempre, ed amo forte ancora 86
Io avro sempre in odio la fenestra 86
Io canterei d' Amor si novamente 130
Io mi rivolgo indietro a ciascun passo 12
Io non fu' d' amar voi lassato unquanco 84
Io pensava assai destro esser sull' ale 265
Io sentia dentr' al cor gia venir meno 48
Io son dell' aspettar omai si vinto 93
Io son gia stanco di pensar siccome 78
Io son si stanco sotto 'l fascio antico 83
Io temo si de' begli occhi l' assalto 43
I' piansi, or canto; che 'l celeste lume 204
I' pur ascolto, e non odo novella 221
Italia mia, benche 'l parlar sia indarno 124
Ite, caldi sospiri, al freddo core 148
Ite, rime dolenti, al duro sasso 290
I' vidi in terra angelici costumi 150
I' vo pensando, e nel pensier m' assale 226
I' vo piangendo i miei passati tempi 314
La bella donna che cotanto amavi 89
La donna che 'l mio cor nel viso porta 104
L' aere gravato, e l' importuna nebbia 64
La gola, e 'l sonno, e l' oziose piume 6
La guancia che fu gia piangendo stanca 59
L' alma mia fiamma oltra le belle bella 250
L' alto e novo miracol ch' a di nostri 266
L' alto signor, dinanzi a cui non vale 212
L' arbor gentil ohe forte amai molt' anni 61
L' ardente nodo ov' io fui, d' ora in ora 239
Lasciato hai, Morte, senza sole il mondo 295
La sera desiar, odiar l' aurora 221
L' aspettata virtu che 'n voi fioriva 98
L' aspetto sacro della terra vostra 66
Lassare il velo o per sole, o per ombra 9
Lasso! Amor mi trasporta ov' io non voglio 206
Lasso! ben so, che dolorose prede 96
Lasso, che mal accorto fui da prima 64
Lasso, ch' i' ardo, ed altri non mel crede 181
Lasso me, ch' i' non so in qual parte pieghi 67
Lasso! quante fiate Amor m' assale 103
L' aura celeste che 'n quel verde Lauro 178
L' aura, che 'l verde Lauro e l' aureo crine 215
L' aura e l' odore e 'l refrigerio e l' ombra 284
L' aura gentil che rasserena i poggi 175
L' aura mia sacra al mio stanco riposo 304
L' aura serena che fra verdi fronde 177
L' aura soave ch' al sol spiega e vibra 178
L' avara Babilonia ha colmo 'l sacco 136
La ver l' aurora, che si dolce l' aura 210
La vita fugge, e non s' arresta un' ora 239
Le stelle e 'l cielo e gli elementi a prova 149
Levommi il mio pensier in parte ov' era 261
Liete e pensose, accompagnate e sole 199
Lieti fiori e felici, e ben nate erbe 154
L' oro e le perle, e i fior vermigli, e i bianchi 47
L' ultimo, lasso! de' miei giorni allegri 284
Mai non fu' in parte ove si chiar' vedessi 244
Mai non vedranno le mie luci asciutte 276
Mai non vo' pin cantar, com' io soleva 99
Ma poi che 'l dolce riso umile e piano 45
Mente mia che presaga de' tuoi danni 270
Mentre che 'l cor dagli amorosi vermi 263
Mia benigna fortuna e 'l viver licto 288
Mia ventura ed Amor m' avean si adorno 180
Mie venture al venir son tarde e pigre 58
Mille fiate, o dolce mia guerrera 17
Mille piagge in un giorno e mille rivi 164
Mirando 'l sol de' begli occhi sereno 162
Mira quel colle, o stanco mio cor vago 213
Morte ha spento quel Sol eh' abbagliar suolmi 313
Movesi 'l vecohierel canuto e bianco 13
Ne cosi bello il sol giammai levarsi 141
Nel dolce tempo della prima etade 20
Nella stagion che 'l ciel rapido inchina 50
Nell' eta sua piu bella e piu fiorita 243
Ne mai pietosa madre al caro figlio 248
Ne per sereno cielo ir vaghe stelle 269
Non al suo amante piu Diana piacque 54
Non dall' Ispano Ibero all' Indo Idaspe 190
Non d' atra e tempestosa onda marina 147
Non fur mai Giove e Cesare si mossi 150
Non ha tanti animali il mar fra l' onde 207
Non puo far morte il dolce viso amaro 305
Non pur quell' una bella ignuda mano 180
Non Tesin, Po, Varo, Arno, Adige e Tebro 145
Non veggio ove scampar mi possa omai 102
Nova angeletta sovra l' ale accorta 101
O aspettata in ciel, beata e bella 26
O bella man, che mi distringi 'l core 179
O cameretta che gia fosti un porto 206
Occhi miei lassi, mentre ch' io vi giro 12
Occhi miei, oscurato e 'l nostro sole 241
Occhi, piangete; accompagnate il core 85
O d' ardente virtute ornata e calda 143
O dolci sguardi, o parolette accorte 220
O giorno, o ora, o ultimo momento 285
Ogni giorno mi par piu di mill' anni 304
Oime il bel viso! oime il soave sguardo 232
O invidia, nemica di virtute 161
O misera ed orribil visione 219
Onde tolse Amor l' oro e di qual vena 198
O passi sparsi, o pensier vaghi e pronti 154
Or che 'l ciel e la terra e 'l vento tace 156
Or hai fatto 'l estremo di tua possa 283
Orso, al vostro destrier si puo ben porre 94
Orso, e' non furon mai fiumi ne stagni 43
Or vedi, Amor, che giovinetta donna 111
O tempo, o ciel volubil che fuggendo 294
Ove ch' i' posi gli occhi lassi o giri 152
Ov' e la fronte che con picciol cenno 259
Pace non trovo, e non ho da far guerra 132
Padre del ciel, dopo i perduti giorni 62
Parra forse ad alcun, che 'n lodar quella 216
Pasco la mente d' un si nobil cibo 175
Passa la nave mia colma d' oblio 172
Passato e 'l tempo omai, lasso! che tanto 270
Passer mai solitario in alcun tetto 201
Perche al viso d' Amor portava insegna 57
Perche la vita e breve 68
Perche quel che mi trasse ad amar prima 60
Perch' io t' abbia guardato di menzogna 49
Per far una leggiadra sua vendetta 2
Per mezzo i boschi inospiti e selvaggi 163
Per mirar Policleto a prova fiso 80
Perseguendomi Amor al luogo usato 103
Piangete, donne, e con voi pianga Amore 90
Pien di quella ineffabile dolcezza 107
Pien d' un vago pensier, che me desvia 159
Piovonmi amare lagrime dal viso 14
Piu di me lieta non si vede a terra 25
Piu volte Amor m' avea gia detto: scrivi 91
Piu volte gia dal bel sembiante umano 160
Po, ben puo' tu portartene la scorza 166
Poco era ad appressarsi agli occhi miei 53
Poiche la vista angelica serena 242
Poi che 'l cammin m' e chiuso di mercede 129
Poi che mia speme e lunga a venir troppo 87
Poiche per mio destino 76
Poi che voi ed io piu volte abbiam provato 94
Pommi ove 'l sol occide i fiori e l' erba 142
Qual donna attende a gloriosa fama 225
Qual mio destin, qual forza o qual inganno 198
Qual paura ho, quando mi torna a mente 217
Qual piu diversa e nova 133
Qual ventura mi fu, quando dall' uno 205
Quand' io mi volgo indietro a mirar gli anni 258
Quand' io movo i sospiri a chiamar voi 5
Quand' io son tutto volto in quella parte 15
Quand' io veggio dal ciel scender l' Aurora 252
Quand' io v' odo parlar si dolcemente 141
Quando Amor i begli occhi a terra inchina 158
Quando dal proprio sito si rimove 44
Quando fra l' altre donne ad ora ad ora 11
Quando giugne per gli occhi al cor profondo 92
Quando giunse a Simon l' alto concetto 81
Quando il soave mio fido conforto 305
Quando 'l pianeta che distingue l' ore 8
Quando 'l sol bagna in mar l' aurato carro 199
Quando 'l voler, che con duo sproni ardenti 144
Quando mi vene innanzi il tempo e 'l loco 163
Quanta invidia ti porto, avara terra 259
Quante fiate al mio dolce ricetto 245
Quanto piu disiose l' ali spando 138
Quanto piu m' avvicino al giorno estremo 35
Quel, che d' odore e di color vincea 295
Quel ch' infinita providenza ed arte 4
Quel che 'n Tessaglia ebbe le man si pronte 46
Quel foco, ch' io pensai che fosse spento 57
Quella fenestra, ove l' un sol si vede 95
Quell' antiquo mio dolce empio signore 307
Quella per cui con Sorga ho cangiat' Arno 265
Quelle pietose rime, in ch' io m' accorsi 111
Quel rosignuol che si soave piagne 268
Quel sempre acerbo ed onorato giorno 151
Quel sol che mi mostrava il cammin destro 264
Quel vago, dolce, caro, onesto sguardo 286
Quel vago impallidir che 'l dolce riso 113
Questa Fenice dell' aurata piuma 169
Quest' anima gentil che si diparte 35
Questa umil fera, un cor di tigre o d' orsa 148
Questro nostro caduco e fragil bene 293
Qui dove mezzo son, Sennuccio mio 105
Rapido fiume che d' alpestra vena 189
Real natura, angelico intelletto 211
Rimansi addietro il sestodecim' anno 108
Ripensando a quel ch' oggi il ciel onora 298
Rotta e l' alta Colonna e 'l verde Lauro 235
S' Amore o Morte non da qualche stroppio 44
S' Amor non e, che dunque e quel ch' i' sento 130
S' Amor novo consiglio non n' apporta 242
Se al principio risponde il fine e 'l mezzo 81
Se bianche non son prima ambe le tempie 85
Se col cieco desir che 'l cor distrugge 57
Se lamentar angelli, o verdi fronde 243
Se la mia vita dall' aspro tormento 10
Se 'l dolce sguardo di costei m' ancide 168
Se 'l onorata fronde, che prescrive 24
Se 'l pensier che mi strugge 114
Se 'l sasso ond' e piu chiusa questa valle 107
Se mai foco per foco non si spense 49
Sennuccio, i' vo' che sappi in qual maniera 104
Sennuccio mio, benche doglioso e solo 249
Sento l' aura mia antica, e i dolci colli 274
Se quell' aura soave de' sospiri 249
Se Virgilio ed Omero avessin visto 170
Se voi poteste per turbati segni 63
Si breve e 'l tempo e 'l pensier si veloce 247
Siccome eterna vita e veder Dio 173
Si e debile il filo a cui s' attene 40
Signor mio caro, ogni pensier mi tira 231
S' il dissi mai, ch' i' venga in odio a quella 183
S' io avessi pensato che si care 254
S' io credessi per morte essere scarce 39
S' io fossi stato fermo alia spelunca 157
Si tosto come avvien che l' arco scocchi 87
Si traviato e 'l folle mio desio 5
Solea dalla fontana di mia vita 287
Solea lontana in sonno consolarme 218
Soleano i miei pensier soavemente 250
Soleasi nel mio cor star bella e viva 255
Solo e pensoso i piu deserti campi 38
Son animali al mondo di si altera 16
S' onesto amor puo meritar mercede 291
Spinse amor e dolor ore ir non debbe 300
Spirto felice, che si dolcemente 316
Spirto gentil che quelle membra reggi 54
Standomi un giorno solo alia finestra 277
Stiamo, Amor, a veder la gloria nostra 174
S' una fede amorosa, un cor non finto 200
Tacer non posso, e temo non adopre 280
Tempo era omai da trovar pace o tregua 272
Tennemi Amor anni ventuno ardendo 314
Tornami a mente, anzi v' e dentro quella 293
Tranquillo porto avea mostrato Amore 273
Tra quantunque leggiadre donne e belle 196
Tutta la mia fiorita e verde etade 271
Tutto 'l di piango; e poi la notte, quando 195
Una candida cerva sopra l' erba 172
Una donna piu bella assai che 'l sole 108
Vago augelletto che cantando vai 317
Valle che de' lamenti miei se' piena 260
Verdi panni, sanguigni, oscuri o persi 32
Vergine bella che di sol vestita 318
Vergognando talor ch' ancor si taccia 16
Vidi fra mille donne una gia tale 292
Vincitore Alessandro l' ira vinse 205
Vinse Annibal, e non seppe usar poi 98
Vive faville uscian de' duo bei lumi 223
Voglia mi sprona; Amor mi guida e scorge 191
Voi, ch' ascoltate in rime sparse il suono 1
Volgendo gli occhi al mio novo colore 63
Volo con l' ali de' pensieri al cielo 313
Zefiro torna, e 'l bel tempo rimena 266

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf. org
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U. S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf. org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.
Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U. S.
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
http://www. gutenberg. org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
