Here is the Italian sonnet by Petrarch:
Those eyes, 'neath which my passionate rapture rose, The arms, hands, feet, the beauty that erewhile Could my own soul from its own self beguile, And in a separate world of dreams enclose, The hair's bright tresses, full of golden glows, And the soft lightning of the angelic smile That changed this earth to some celestial isle, Are now but dust, poor dust, that nothing knows. And yet I live! Myself I grieve and scorn, Left dark without the light I loved in vain, Adrift in tempest on a bark forlorn; Dead is the source of all my amorous strain, Dry is the channel of my thoughts outworn, And my sad harp can sound but notes of pain.

Answer: Vera's tendency for making up outlandish stories
The question refers to the story "The Open Window" by Saki (H. H. Munro).
In the story, Framton is visiting the house of Mrs. Stapleton. While waiting for her, Vera, her niece, tells her a story. It is not until the end that we realize the story Vera told is in fact a lie. In order to get out of the sitation she created, she tells her family another outlandish story, showing that this is a character trait of Vera, and not an isolated event. The fact that we do not know Vera's story is false until the end is vital for creating the desired effect of surprise on the reader.
