Laura from Canzoniere
Translated by Morris Bishop
She used to let her golden hair fly free (a)
For the wind to toy and tangle and molest; (b)
Her eyes were brighter than the radiant west. (b)
(Seldom they shine so now.) I used to see (a)
Pity look out of those deep eyes on me. (a)
(“It was false pity,” you would now protest.) (b)
I had love’s tinder heaped within my breast; (b)
What wonder that the flame burned furiously? (a)
She did not walk in any mortal way, (c)
But with angelic progress; when she spoke, (d)
Unearthly voices sang in unison. (e)
She seemed divine among the dreary folk (d)
Of earth. You say she is not so today? (c)
Well, though the bow’s unbent, the wound bleeds on. (e)
The class will be divided into 5 groups. The group will
be given at least 5 minutes to access their phone and
search the following tasks given to them. Note that
students should access the internet in most
responsible way.
 G1- Five Vocabularies
 G2- Delivery of Poem (includes pronunciation)
 G3- Task Card (Author’s background, black death,
sonnet)
 G4- What is the poem all about
 G5- Define Theme and identify the theme of the
poem.
Based on the given task, the group will be
asked:
1. What do you think about the general idea of
writing sonnet? –sonnet should be a 14-line
poem.
2. How do we compare the basic sonnets? sonnets are basically compared according to its
rhyme scheme
3. If you were deeply in love with someone, will
you do the same way with these famous poet? –
yes or maybe
4. Share some insights about the poet.
Sonnets are a way to express a poet’s
passion-an overwhelming expression in a
strict structure that helps them to contain
their overwhelming feelings.
From the collective thoughts presented by each group.
Sonnet has 14 lines, and is written in iambic pentameter.
 There are two kinds of sonnet Shakespearian (English) sonnet
and Petrarchan (Italian) sonnet.
 Both are inspired by two greatest poets: William Shakespeare
of English and Franchesco Petrarch Italian and Father of
Humanism. Their Sonnets will be identified by its Rhyme
scheme. ABBA ABBA CDE CDE for Petrachan sonnet while ABAB
CDCD EFEF GG for Shakespearian Sonnet.
 Both poet fell in love deeply and had a love at first sight as
their motivation to write poems. Focusing on Petrarch, it was
Laura who inspired him to continue poetry and write as many
as 366 poems. In fact, during his last breath he brought the
best poem for Laura. Laura died at the age of 36 due to Black
death happened in Florence Italy.

Below is an example of Shakespearian Sonnet and
Petrarchan Sonnet. Let us label each lines at the end
and see which pattern we are using;
A witless gallant, a young wench that wooed A
(Yet his dull spirit her not one jot could move), B
Entreated me, as e'er I wished his good A
To write him but one sonnet to his love; B
When I, as fast as e'er my pen could trot, C
Poured out what first from quick invention came, D
Nor never stood one word thereof to blot, C
Much like his wit, that was to use the same; D
But with my verses he his mistress won, E
Who doted on the dolt beyond all measure. F
But see, for you to heav'n for phrase I run, E
And ransack all Apollo's golden treasure; F
Yet by my froth this fool his love obtains, G
And I lose you for all my wit and pains. G
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds (a)
Admit impediments. Love is not love (b)
Which alters when it alteration finds,(a)
Or bends with the remover to remove:(b)
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,(c)
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;(d)
It is the star to every wandering bark,(c)
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.(d)
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks(e)
Within his bending sickle's compass come;(f)
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,(e)
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.(f)
If this be error and upon me proved,(g)
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.(g)

Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the
holiest right of the soul, the golden link which
binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming
principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to
life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
Petrarch
