Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
This is a fairly strict translation, not least in the metrical features of the original work. DGR keeps the rhyme scheme exactly and also preserves the interesting enjambment at the turn from the octave to the sestet.
See also the commentary for DGR's source text, which was Ciampi's Vita e Poesie di Messer Cino da Pistoia (page 62).
Textual History: Composition
Probably an early work, late 1840s.
Printing History
The translation was first published in 1861 in The Early Italian Poets; it was reprinted in 1874 in Dante and his Circle.
