- Sonnet Ccvi
Il mal mi preme, e mi spaventa il peggio.
TO A FRIEND, IN LOVE LIKE HIMSELF, HE CAN GIVE NO ADVICE BUT TO RAISE HIS SOUL TO GOD.
...
- Sonnet Xviii
Vergognando talor ch' ancor si taccia.
THE PRAISES OF LAURA TRANSCEND HIS POETIC POWERS.
...
- Sonnet Clxxxv
Qual mio destin, qual forza o qual inganno.
THOUGH HER EYES DESTROY HIM, HE CANNOT TEAR HIMSELF AWAY.
...
- Sonnet Cxiv
O d' ardente virtute ornata e calda.
HE CELEBRATES LAURA'S BEAUTY AND VIRTUE.
...
- Canzone Iii
Verdi panni, sanguigni, oscuri o persi.
WHETHER OR NOT HE SHOULD CEASE TO LOVE LAURA.
