Notes:
All of My Thoughts Can Only Speak of Love — (Tutti li miei pensier parlan d’Amore) — (XIII)
The protagonist’s mind is troubled by four conflicting thoughts of Love which hinder his peace. The motif is part of Provençal tradition as in Peire Vidal’s “Tuiz mei cossir son d’amor et de chan.” The lover is confused and does not know which way to take. He must invoke Lady Piety, the woman, though she is his “foe,” being angry with him.
