<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Francesco Petrarca is the best known for the Iyric poetry of his Canzoniere and is considered as one of the greatest love poets of world literature.

<em> Those eyes, 'neath which my passionate rapture rose, </em>

<em>The arms, hands, feet, the beauty that erewhile </em>

<em>Could my own soul from its own self beguile, </em>

<em>And in a separate world of dreams enclose, </em>

<em>The hair's bright tresses, full of golden glows, </em>

<em>And the soft lightning of the angelic smile </em>

<em>That changed this earth to some celestial isle, </em>

<em>Are now but dust, poor dust, that nothing knows. </em>

<em>And yet I live! Myself I grieve and scorn, </em>

<em>Left dark without the light I loved in vain, </em>

<em>Adrift in tempest on a bark forlorn; </em>

<em>Dead is the source of all my amorous strain, </em>

<em>Dry is the channel of my thoughts outworn, </em>

<em>And my sad harp can sound but notes of pain.</em>
