Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
Cino's sonnet is a response to a sonnet of Dante's written in exile. DGR's note to the last line argues that Cino is referring to the Commedia, but that is by no means certain.
See also the commentary for the source text, which was Sebastiano Ciampi's edition of the Vita e Poesie di Messer Cino da Pistoia (page 112).
Textual History: Composition
Probably an early translation, 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.
