Lasciato hai Morte senza sole il mondoA
-
HER TRUE WORTH WAS KNOWN ONLY TO HIM AND TO HEAVENB
-
-
Death thou the world since that dire arrow spedC
Sunless and cold hast left Love weak and blindD
Beauty and grace their brilliance have resign'dD
And from my heavy heart all joy is fledC
Honour is sunk and softness banish dE
I weep alone the woes which all my kindD
Should weep for virtue's fairest flower has pinedD
Beneath thy touch what second blooms insteadC
Let earth sea air with common wail bemoanF
Man's hapless race which now since Laura diedG
A flowerless mead a gemless ring appearsH
The world possess'd nor knew her worth till flownF
I knew it well who here in grief abideG
And heaven too knows which decks its forehead with my tearsI

Thou Death hast left this world's dark cheerless wayK
Without a sun Love blind and stripp'd of armsL
Left mirth despoil'd beauty bereaved of charmsL
And me self wearied to myself a preyK
Left vanish'd sunk whate'er was courteous gayK
I only weep yet all must feel alarmsL
If beauty's bud the hand of rapine harmsL
It dies and not a second views the dayK
Let air earth ocean weep for human kindD
For human kind deprived of Laura seemsM
A flowerless mead a ring whose gem is lostN
None knew her worth while to this orb confinedD
Save me her bard whose sorrow ceaseless streamsM
And heaven that's made more beauteous at my costO
