Summary

1255 - Birth

1300 - Rime
         
Ah why! why were mine eyes not quenched for me
         
Alas, my spirits, that ye come to find me
         
A love-lit glance, with living powers fraught
         
At last I am reduced to self compassion
         
Beauty of woman, of the knowing heart
         
Because no hope is left me, Ballatetta
         
Being in thought of love I came upon
         
Come, come Manetto, look upon this scarecrow
         
Dante, a sigh, that's the heart's messenger
         
Dante, I pray thee, if thou Love discover
         
I daily come to thee uncounting times
         
If all my life be but some deathly moving
         
I fear me lest unfortune's counter thrust
         
If I should pray this lady pitiless
         
If mercy were the friend of my desires
         
If Santalena does not come unto you
         
In wood-way found I once a shepherdess
         
I pray ye gentles, ye who speak of grief
         
I saw the eyes, where Amor took his place
         
Lady, my most rash eyes, the first who used
         
Light do I see within my Lady's eyes
         
My lady's face it is they worship there
         
Nay, when I would have sent my verses to thee
         
News have I now for thee, so hear, Nerone
         
Now can I tell you tidings of mine eyes
         
Now every cool small spring that springeth sweetly
         
O lady mine, doth not thy sight allege
         
Sith need hath bound my heart in bands of grief
         
So vilely is this soul of mine confounded
         
Subtle the spririt striking through the eyes
         
Surely thine intellect gives no embrace
         
The eyes of this gentle maid of the forest
         
The grace of youth in Toulouse ventureth
         
The harshness of my strange and new misventure
         
This most lief lady, where doth Love display him
         
Tho' all thy piteous mercy fall away
         
Thou fill'st my mind with griefs so populous
         
Thou hast in thee the flower and the green
         
Thou mayest see, who seest me face to face
         
Thou sawest, it seems to me, all things availing
         
Weeping ye see me, in Grief's company
         
Were I that I once was worthy of Love
         
Who is she coming, drawing all men's gaze
         
You, who do breach mine eyes and touch the heart
         
You, who within your eyes so often carry
