The SonnetA lyric poem of fourteen lines: abba abba + cde cde, cdc cdc, or cde dce Era il giorno ch'al sol si scoloraro
per la pietà del suo fattore i rai,quando i' fui preso, e non me ne guardai,ché i be' vostr'occhi, Donna, mi legaro.
Tempo non mi parea da far riparocontra colpi d'Amor; però m'andaisecur, senza sospetto; onde i miei guainel commune dolor s'incominciaro.
Trovommi Amor del tutto disarmato,ed aperta la via per gli occhi al core,che di lagrime son fatti uscio e varco.
Però, al mio parer, non li fu onoreferir me de saetta in quello stato,a voi armata non mostrar pur l'arco.

Sonnet 61Benedetto sia 'l giorno, e 'l mese, e l'anno, E la stagione, e 'l tempo, e l'ora, e 'l punto E 'l bel paese e 'l loco, ov'io fui giunto Da'duo begli occhi che legato m'ànno;
E benedetto il primo dolce affanno Ch'i' ebbi ad esser con Amor congiunto, E l'arco e la saette ond' i' fui punto, E le piaghe, ch'infino al cor mi vanno.
Benedette le voci tante, ch'io Chiamando il nome di Laura ho sparte, E i sospiri e le lagrime e 'l desio.
E benedette sian tutte le carteOv'io fama le acquisto, e il pensier mio, Ch'è sol di lei, si ch'altra non v'ha parte.
