Ch' ancor, lasso! m' infiamma
Essendo spenta, or che fea dunque ardendo? L. 54-56. --ov' erano a tutt' ore Disposti gli ami ov' io fui preso, e l'esca Ch' i' bramo sempre. L. 76-79. --onde l' accese Saette uscivan d' invisibil foco, E ragion temean poco; Che contra 'l ciel non val difesa umana. And the lines 86, 87. Poser' in dubbio, a cui Devesse il pregio di piu laude darsi --are rather flatly worded. [Footnote 1: These notes, by Mr. C., are written in a Petrarch in my possession, and are of some date before 1812. It is hoped that they will not seem ill placed here. Ed.] [Footnote 2: If George Herbert is meant, I can find nothing like an imitation of this canzone in his poems. Ed.] |
