1. Laura being dead, Petrarch finds trouble in all the things of the earth -- He asks his heart to raise itself up to God -- He wishes he might die and follow Laura -- Laura is ever present to him -- He considers that he should set little store on earthly beauty -- He recalls his visions of her -- He finds comfort and rest in his sorrows -- He ceases to speak of her graces and her virtues wchih are no more -- He considers the reasons for his verses -- He is jealous of the heaven's and the earth -- The fine time of the year increases Petrarch's sorrow -- He understands the great cruelty of death -- The sight of Laura's house reminds him of the great happiness he has lost -- He sends his rhymes to the tomb of Laura to pray her to call him to her -- Only he who mourns her and Heaven that possesses her knew her while she lives -- Petrarch is unable to contain his grief -- Laura waits for him in heaven.
