Niccolo degli Albizzi. “Prolonged Sonnet. When the Troops were returning from Milan.”

DGR's note in Early Italian Poets is as much as we know about this poet and poem. The source text is Trucchi's Poesie Italiane inedite (II. 37). For the most part, the translation is close.

Probably early, late 40s or early 50s.

The translation was first published in 1861 in The Early Italian Poets; it was reprinted in 1874 in Dante and his Circle.
