Excerpt from The Rime Nouve of Giosuè Carducci

These translations from Carducci follow no the cry. I cannot claim that they are absolutely lit eral, yet if I have occasionally substituted a para phrase for a translation, it has been only in single lines or phrases, never more. It has been easier for me to retain the original metres, as nearly as Eng lish can reproduce the Italian, because the song would not sing itself to me otherwise, and I have tried to echo, however faintly, the song as it sounded to me.
