Scholarly Commentary
IntroductionÂ
Like his translation of the canzonetta âOf his Lady, and of his making her Likenessâ, this is quite a free rendering, particularly in the octave. DGR doesn't even hold strictly to Lentino's rhyme scheme. DGR's source text is Poeti del primo secolo (I. 291).
Textual History: CompositionÂ
As with most of DGR's translations of the early Italian poets, the date of this cannot be precisely determined. DGR probably wrote it early, in the late 1840s.
Printing HistoryÂ
The translation was first published in 1861 in The Early Italian Poets; it was reprinted in 1874 in Dante and his Circle.
