Página 39 - When now so many dames;' the third here, ' Now hearken.' II. DEATH, alway cruel, Pity's foe in chief, Mother who brought forth grief, Merciless judgment and without appeal ! Since thou alone hast made my heart to feel This sadness and unweal, My tongue upbraideth thee without relief.

Página 33 - To every heart which the sweet pain doth move, And unto which these words may now be brought For true interpretation and kind thought, Be greeting in our Lord's name, which is Love. Of those long hours wherein the stars, above, Wake and keep watch, the third was almost nought, When Love was shown me with such terrors fraught As may not carelessly be spoken of.

For my sake, who would sleep away in stone My life, or feed like beasts upon the grass, Only to see her garments cast a shade. How dark soe'er the hills throw out their shade....
Página 86 - I say, then, that according to the division of time in Italy, her most noble spirit departed from among us in the first hour of the ninth day of the month; and according to the division of time in...
Página 161 - And still thy speech of me, heartfelt and kind, Had made me treasure up thy poetry. But now I dare not, for thine abject life, Make manifest that I approve thy rhymes ; Nor come I in such sort that thou mayst know. Ah ! prythee read this sonnet many times : So shall that evil one who bred this strife Be thrust from thy dishonoured soul and go.
Página 78 - And in his speech he laugh'd and laugh'd again. Then, while it was his pleasure to remain, I chanced to look the way he had drawn near And saw the Ladies Joan and Beatrice Approach me, this the other following, One and a second marvel instantly. And even as now my memory speaketh this, Love spake it then: "The first is christen'd Spring; The second Love, she is so like to me.
Página 32 - The hour of her most sweet salutation was exactly the ninth of that day ; and because it was the first time that any words from her reached mine- ears, I came into such sweetness that I parted thence as one intoxicated.
