In a poem in this language, the speaker angrily asks Nature “Why do you so deceive your children?” before the title character “pointed towards death’s coldness and the silent grave.” A poet using this language described “this lonely hillside” that was “always beloved to me” in the poem “The Infinite.” A poem in this language ends with the “clearest knowledge / of how the world’s delight is a brief dream.” Thomas Wyatt prolifically translated a poet in this language and introduced one of their poetic forms to English. The sections “In Life” and “In Death” comprise a volume in this language, which begins with the line “You who hear the sound, in scattered rhymes” and is addressed to the poet’s muse Laura.
