Boccaccio has left a charming description 1 Ep. Fam. , xxiii. 12.
PETRARCH'S CHILDREN. 191 of a visit to that home in Petrarch's absence. It was an exceptionally happy home in all re- spects. Francesca's husband bore the same name as her father, Francesco ; and Petrarch writes in his old age that Francesco and Francesca are dearer to him than his own soul. He delighted in his grandchildren, especially in his grandson, who was said to bear a remarkable resemblance to him. When the little one die...d at the age of two years, Petrarch was overwhelmed with grief. He questioned, he said, whether he had ever in his life loved any one else as he loved that child.
192 LIFE OF PETRARCH, V CHAPTER XIV.
BOCCACCIO.
NO man was ever so rich in friends as Petrarch, and it is in his relations with his friends that we see the most delightful side of his character. Few men are capa- ble of so many genuine and lasting friend- ships, and fewer still have the power of in- spiring such enthusiastic love in those with whom they come in contact.
