(para ed si Jose Jason L. Chancoco)



tigsit¹ mo pa sirin ira’y anlong

mangikinon ed saray uragon

² say bulkan na Mayon

³ say anlong ed salitan Bicol




Keats's last sonnet, from the Guardian, February 7 1846

In the Union Magazine for February is given a facsimile of Keats's handwriting, in the last sonnet he ever wrote, and a letter from Mr Joseph Severn, an able artist, who went out to Italy with the drooping poet, and, as Shelley says, "almost risked his own life, and sacrificed every prospect, to unwearied attendance on his dying friend".
