Petrarchan trope in “Look on me, Lord”

Identify the Petrarchan trope in “Look on me, Lord” (630) From Romeo and Juliet (632)
As you read, watch for the Petrarchan images, tropes, and ideas I mentioned in the video. Then, select
ONE romantic poem and ONE religious poem that you think are using at least one of the same Petrarchan
tropes.
Then, compose a discussion post in which you do the following:
1) In about 250 words, identify the Petrarchan trope both poems are using, and quote at least once from
each poem to illustrate how each poem uses that trope. Try to explain a little bit about how the trope works
differently or similarly in each poem.
2) In about 100 words, make a suggestion about why that trope works in both a romantic and a religious
context (at least, why the poet might feel it works — you might not!).
