Epistolae metricae

By Francesco Petrarch

" Si michi seva pium servassent sidera regem,
Pars animi, Barbate, mei, non littera cordis
Nuntia per vastos tractus telluris et unde
Ambiguum tentaret iter, tua lumina presens
Aspicerem, vox viva tuas contingeret aures.
Mors vetat. Heu varii quos quondam largus honores
Contulit ille michi! Vultus heu blanda sereni
Maiestas placideque decus pondusque senecte!
Heu prerepta michi frons augustissima celo
Reddita iam patrio! Vox heu doctissima melle
Dulcior hybleo, que prensa tenacibus hamis
Corda virum rapiebat humo, que laudibus amplis
Ingenium celebrare meum calamumque solebat,
Calcar agens animo validum! Non omnia terre
Obruta: vivit amor, vivit dolor; ora negatur
Regia conspicere, at flere et meminisse relictum est. "

Francesco Petrarch

Born in Italy in 1304, Francesco Petrarch moved with his family to Provence. Petrarch was smitten by the sight of a young woman named Laura. She did not return his love, but it stayed with Petrarch even after Laura’s early death. Laura inspired the 366 poems that make up his Canzoniere, translated here as ‘Scattered Rhymes’. Petrarch lived till 1374, and was writing and revising his sonnets into his last years.
