Poem
SONNET CXCV. I' mi vivea di mia sorte contento. HE FEARS THAT AN ILLNESS WHICH HAS ATTACKED THE EYES OF LAURA MAY DEPRIVE HIM OF THEIR SIGHT. I lived so tranquil, with my lot content,No sorrow visited, nor envy pined,To other loves if fortune were more kindOne pang of mine their thousand joys outwent;But those bright eyes, whence never I repentThe pains I feel, nor wish them less to find,So dark a cloud and heavy now does blind,Seems as my sun of life in them were spent.O Nature! mother pitiful yet stern,Whence is the power which prompts thy wayward deeds,Such lovely things to make and mar in turn?[Pg 205]True, from one living fount all power proceeds:But how couldst Thou consent, great God of Heaven,That aught should rob the world of what thy love had given? Macgregor.
