Summary

Portrait of Petrarch Petrarch,  Canzoniere — Poem XII (14th century)

“ The bosom'd annals of my heart's fierce fire,
The martyr-throbs that now in night I veil:
And should the chill Time frown on young Desire.
Still, still some late remorse that breast may feel,
And heave a tardy sigh--ere love with life expire.
”
