Additional quotes by Petrarch

böyle kaçarım ölümün vuruşlarından;
ama hızlı değil kaçışım, arzumun
benimle gelemeyeceği kadar, hep geldiği gibi
sessiz yürürüm, yoksa ölü sözler
ağlatır insanları, oysa ben
yalnız aksın isterim gözyaşlarım.

L'acque parlan d'amore, et l'òra e i rami
et gli augelletti et i pesci e i fiori et l'erba,
tutti inseme pregando ch'i' sempre ami.<p>Ma tu, ben nata, che dal ciel mi chiami,
per la memoria di tua morte acerba
preghi ch'i' sprezzi 'l mondo e i suoi dolci hami.
