" Love Sonnet" - Francesco Petrarca




It was the day the sun's ray had turned pale

with pity for the suffering of his Maker
when i was caught, and i put up no fight,
my lady, for your lovely eyes had bound me.


It seemed no time to be on guard against

Love's blows; therefore, i went my way
secure and fearless-so, all my misfortunes
began in midst of universal woe.


Love found me all disarmed and found the way

was clear to reach my heart down through the eyes
which have become the halls and doors of tears.


It seems to me it did him little honour

to wound me with his arrow in my state
and to you, armed, not show his bow at all.
