  • Grammar:  Identify at least one trope and one scheme
  • "Weep, Lovers, sith Love’s very self doth weep,
    And sith the cause for weeping is so great;
    When now so many dames, of such estate
    In worth, show with their eyes a grief so deep:
    For Death the churl has laid his leaden sleep
    Upon a damsel who was fair of late,
    Defacing all our earth should celebrate,—
    Yea all save virtue, which the soul doth keep.
    Now hearken how much Love did honour her.
    I myself saw him in his proper form
    Bending above the motionless sweet dead,
    And often gazing into Heaven; for there
    The soul now sits which when her life was warm
    Dwelt with the joyful beauty that is fled."
* Dante
