  2. Italian Sonnets

  3. Italian sonnet #1 • Who will in fairest book of Nature know • How Virtue may best lodged in Beauty be, • Let him but learn of Love to read in thee, • Stella, those fair lines, which true goodness show. • There shall he find all vices’ overthrow, • Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty • Of reason, from whose light those night-birds fly; • That inward sun in thine eyes shineth so. • And not content to be Perfection’s heir • Thyself, dost strive all minds that way to move, • Who mark in thee what is in thee most fair. • So while thy beauty draws the heart to love, • As fast thy Virtue bends that love to good. • “But, ah,” Desire still cries, “give me some food.” • (Sir Philip Sidney, http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm ) • rhyming scheme: abba,abba,cdcd,ee • metre: iambic pentametre • ANALYSIS: central metaphor: beauty compared to virtue •                           how it’s posed: Who will in fairest book of Nature know •                                                          How Virtue in best loged as Beauty be, •                                                         (Sir Philip Sidney, http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm ) •                           how it’s resolved: So while the beauty draws the heart to love, •                                                                 As fast thy Virtue bends that love to good. •                                                                (Sir Philip Sidney, http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm ) •                           poetic devices used: metaphor and rhyming •                            my general response: beauty may make you love something but virtue makes your love for something •                                                                         good but still you can’t always get rid of  your desire.

  4. Italian sonnet #2 • Scorn not the Sonnet; Critic, you have frowned, • Mindless of its just honours; with this key • Shakespeare unlocked his heart; the melody • Of this small lute gave ease to Petrarch’s wound; • A thousand times this pipe did Tasso sound; • With it Camoens soothed an exile’s grief; • The Sonnet glittered a gay myrtle leaf • Amid the cypress wtih which Dante crowned • His visionary brow: a glow-worm lamp, • It cheered mild Spenser, called from Faery-land • To struggle through dark ways; and when a damp • Fell round the path of Milton, in his handThe • Thing became a trumpet; whence he blew • Soul-animating strains–alas, too few! • (William Wordsworth, http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm ) • rhyming scheme: abba,acca,dede,ff • metre:iambicpentametre

  5. Italian sonnet #3 • A hint of rain–a touch of lazy doubt– • Sent me to bedward on that prime of nights, • When the air met and burst the aerolites, • Making the men stare and the children shout: • Why did no beam from all that rout and rush • Of darting meteors, pierce my drowsed head? • Strike on the portals of my sleep? and flush • My spirit through mine eyelids, in the stead • Of that poor vapid dream? My soul was pained, • My very soul, to have slept while others woke, • While little children their delight outspoke, • And in their eyes’ small chambers entertained • Far notions of the Kosmos! I mistook • The purpose of that night–it had not rained. • (Charles Tennyson-Turner,http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm ) • rhyming pattern abba,cdcd,effe,fe • metre: iambic pentametre

Ballad #2 • The building was mammoth, and filled with huge vats.The moon mice wore helmets and so did the cats.Milk poured out pipes into tubs, engines whirring,while cheese workers stood by the vats, slowly stirring. • The cheese in one section was Cheddar and Brie.The room stretched out farther than Ollie could see.The moon man was beaming. “We’ve Monterey Jack,and Blue Cheese and Green Cheese and Brown Cheese and Black. • We have fresh Provolone. We have Gouda and Feta.Here, try a sample, you’ll never taste better.”Oliver found the cheese awfully tastyalthough it was bright green, and just a bit pasty. • “We make Mozzarella, and what did I miss?We make Camembert, Colby, and Cheddar and Swiss.”Oliver gasped, “Oh!

  17. Ballad #3 • Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire;Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher;The flames just soared, and the furnace roared – such a blaze you seldom see;And I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee. • Then I made a hike, for I didn’t like to hear him sizzle so;And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow. It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don’t know why;And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky. • I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near:I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: “I’ll just take a peep inside.I guess he’s cooked, and it’s time I looked”… then the door I opened wide. • And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close that door.It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm -Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm.” • (Robert W. Service,http://holyjoe.org/poetry/service2.htm) • rhyming scheme: AABB,CCDD,EEFF,GGHH • metre:iambic
