Petrarch the poet invented a sonnet
but to himself he kept it secret
Then in England a version came
for Surrey&Wyatt claimed his fame

Now then, for fear of tripping myself up with poetry rules, would Petrarch's be the Italian sonnet (abba, abba) and was he a Renaissance Italian artist too or is that another guy? See what your four lines have done Brian? I'm going to have to Google stuff now. Cheers - Gary
