Reader, I have oft been told, Verse that speak not Love are cold. I would gladly please thine ear, But am loth to buy 't too dear. And 'tis easier far to borrow Lovers' tears than feel their sorrow. Therefore he hath furnisht me Who had enough to serve all three. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNETS TO LAURA IN LIFE: 109 by PETRARCH SONNETS TO LAURA IN LIFE: 131 by PETRARCH SONNETS TO LAURA IN LIFE: 156 by PETRARCH A SONNET ON THE DEATH OF LAURA by PETRARCH A SONNET ON THE DEATH OF LAURA (2) by PETRARCH ELEGIAC SONNET: 13 by PETRARCH ELEGIAC SONNET: 14 by PETRARCH ELEGIAC SONNET: 15 by PETRARCH ELEGIAC SONNET: 16 by PETRARCH |
