Triumph of Death, by Petrarch (1351, c.)

Triumph of Death, by Petrarch (1351, c.)

Extract from The Triumph of Death, by Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) Part 1: 

"A lady clothed in black, whose stern looks were
    With horror fill'd, and did like hell appear,
    Advanced, and said, "You who are proud to be
    So fair and young, yet have no eyes to see
    How near you are your end; behold, I am
    She, whom they, fierce, and blind, and cruel name,
    Who meet untimely deaths; 'twas I did make
    Greece subject, and the Roman Empire shake;
    My piercing sword sack'd Troy, how many rude
    And barbarous people are by me subdued?"

Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) (1304-1374)
