The Sonnets, Triumphs, and Other Poems of Petrarch

PREFACE
97/421

My fisherman's cottage is contiguous to mine; when I want him I call; when I no longer need him, he returns to his cottage.
"I have made two gardens that please me wonderfully.

I do not think they are to be equalled in all the world.

And I must confess to you a more than female weakness with which I am haunted.

I am positively angry that there is anything so beautiful out of Italy.
"One of these gardens is shady, formed for contemplation, and sacred to Apollo.

It overhangs the source of the river, and is terminated by rocks, and by places accessible only to birds.
