TO THE MEMORY OF GIACOMO COLONNA WHO DIED BEFORE PETRARCH COULD REPLY TO A LETTER OF HISB
-
-
Ne'er shall I see again with eyes unwetA
Or with the sure powers of a tranquil mindA
Those characters where Love so brightly shinedA
And his own hand affection seem'd to setA
Spirit amid earth's strifes unconquer'd yetA
Breathing such sweets from heaven which now has shrinedA
As once more to my wandering verse has join'dA
The style which Death had led me to forgetA
Another work than my young leaves more brightA
I thought to show what envying evil starC
Snatch'd thee my noble treasure thus from meD
So soon who hides thee from my fond heart's sightA
And from thy praise my loving tongue would barC
My soul has rest sweet sigh alone in theeD

Oh ne'er shall I behold with tearless eyeF
Or tranquil soul those characters of thineG
In which affection doth so brightly shineG
And charity's own hand I can descryE
Blest soul that could this earthly strife defyF
Thy sweets instilling from thy home divineG
Thou wakest in me the tone which once was mineG
To sing my rhymes Death's power did long denyF
With these my brow's young leaves I fondly dream'dA
Another work than this had greeted theeD
What iron planet envied thus our loveH
My treasure veil'd ere age had darkly gleam'dA
Thou whom my song records my heart doth seeD
Thou wakest my sigh and sighing rest I proveI
