HE DESCRIBES THE APPARITION OF LAURA.
Food wherewithal my lord is well supplied, / With tears and grief my weary heart I've fed; / As fears within and paleness o'er me spread, / Oft thinking on its fatal wound and wide: / But in her time with whom no other vied, / Equal or second, to my suffering bed / Comes she to look on whom I almost dread, / And takes her seat in pity by my side.
