Louise Labé (1524-1566) wrote 24 sonnets.  I read somewhere (probably wikipedia) she was inspired by Francesco Petrach (1304-1374) when she wrote her sonnets, so much so that the first sonnet is in Italian.  In 2014 I wrote a song cycle of poems by Gaspara Stampa who was a contemporary of Labé.  Both poets wrote about the suffering and longing due to unrequited love.  

Of the 24 I chose seven.

1. Sonnet 1 ... Non havria Ulysse o qualqu'atro mai 
2. Sonnet 2 ... O beaus yeux bruns
3. Sonnet 3 ... Deus ou trois fois bienheureus la retour
4. Sonnet 8 ... Je vis, je meurs: je me brule et me noye
5. Sonnet 12 ... Lut, compagnon de ma calamité
6. Sonnet 18 ... Baise m'encor, rebaise moi et baise
7. Sonnet 23 ... Las! que me sert, que si parfaitement
