Answer:
The paragraph contains a personification of luck/chance. Federigo refers to his luck as Fortune and conveys that despite his repeated complaining, Fortune is always scheming against him.
“My lady, ever since it pleased God for me to place my love in you, I have felt that Fortune has been hostile to me in many things, and I have complained of her, but all this is nothing compared to what she has just done to me, and I must never be at peace with her again, thinking about how you have come here to my poor home where, while it was rich, you never deigned to come, and you requested a small gift, and Fortune worked to make it impossible for me to give it to you; and why this is so I shall tell you briefly. "
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is from Federigo's Falcon by Giovanni Boccaccio. In the paragraph 18, Federigo personifies luck in the form of Fortune, someone who keeps preventing his happiness and with whom he has an antagonistic relationship.
