Use of Vernacular- Native Language (Dante- wrote The Devine Comedy in Latin)
Petrarch-earliest influential humanist-sonnets (14 line poems) to Laura.
Petrarch –Sonnet 134 I find no peace, and have no arms for war,
and fear and hope, and burn and yet I freeze, and fly to heaven, lying on earth's floor, and nothing hold, and all the world I seize.
My jailer opens not, nor locks the door, nor binds me to hear, nor will loose my ties; Love kills me not, nor breaks the chains I wear, nor wants me living, nor will grant me ease.
I have no tongue, and shout; eyeless, I see;I long to perish, and I beg for aid;I love another, and myself I hate.
Weeping I laugh, I feed on misery,by death and life so equally dismayed:for you, my lady, am I in this state.
Machiavelli wrote The Prince-
not what is morally right, but what was politically effective (The ends justify the means)
