loved a beautiful woman who has died.

Petrarch uses past tense verbs to show that the woman is no longer around. He says "I spoke of", "The waving hair...that shone, The smile that flashed..that used to make this earth a paradise". These past tense verbs indicate that these things are no longer. Even if the woman scorned him, she would still have all of these traits if she was alive. At the end of the sonnet, he also says that all these things about her are "a little dust" indicating that she is now nothing but dust.
