The Petrarchan Purpose Continues

After a round of vocab experts and a recap of all things Petrarchan Sonnet (see, once you know the rhyme scheme and line differentiation, you will always be on the look out for sounds and shifts), we looked at poem sample #2 (a little inspiration of all things "love" and heavenly procured) poem sample #3 (a little intertwining of time, that little scamp Cupid, and poetic immortality), and the common motifs featured in many a poem. To further emphasize Petrarch's poetic structure, motifs, and literary elements, you have a poem to close read and prepare for over-analysis presentation during tomorrow's class. For those absent, you have the "Ne per sereno ciel ir vaghe stelle" as your passage. Remember, the purpose of each part of the poem including that lovely volta!
