  3. Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind, But as for me, alas, I may no more. The vain travail hath wearied me so sore I am of them that farthest cometh behind. 5 Yet may I, by no means, my wearied mind Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore, Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore, Since in a net I seek to hold the wind. Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt, 10 As well as I may spend his time in vain. And graven with diamonds in letters plain There is written, her fair neck round about, “Noli me tangere, for Caesar’s I am, And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.”

  4. Footnotes list: archaic for “desires.” hind (rhymes with kind): female deer travail: hard work put him out of doubt: assure him (that he). “Noli me tangere”: Latin for “touch me not”

  5. Remember Reading Strategy! Read once for the beauty and flow of the language! Read twice and decide what you “get” versus “not get”: paraphrase! Read a third time to select interesting word choices, figurative language devices, rhetorical constructs, construction choices, and mechanics. Write your ideas down! Create a theme statement! Create a pool of terms that you could use to discuss the sonnet! Think: “This contributes to the writer’s ability to convey or delivery the theme in this way… Analysis: Go beyond paraphrasing and identification!

Petrarchan Sonnets • Francesco Petraca, known in English as Francis Petrarch (1304-1374) • Sonnets to Laura (woman of ideal virtue and beauty) • Unrequited love – sonnets speak of hopeless love • Petrarchan Conceits – A fanciful and elaborate figure of speech that makes a surprising connection between two seemingly dissimilar things (metaphysical conceit). • Iambic pentameter • Organized in two unequal parts – Octave (first eight lines) and Sestet (final six lines) • Turn or reversal occurs usually between the two shifts
