II. Petrarch: Sonnets from 'Laura in Death'
Laura being dead, Petrarch finds trouble in all the things of the earth
He asks his heart to raise itself up to God
He wishes he might die and follow Laura
Laura is ever present to him
He ceases to speak of her graces and virtues which are no more
He is jealous of the Heavens and the earth
The fine time of the year increases Petrarch's sorrow
He understands the great cruelty of Death
The sight of Laura's house reminds him of the great happiness he has lost
He sends his rhymes to the tomb of Laura to pray her to call him to her
Only he who mourns her and Heaven that possesses her knew her while she lived
Laura waits for him in Heaven
