Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dante and His Convito: A Study With Translations
As I have already noted, the third canzone contains only a few expressions on which Dante puts an interpretation differing from that which they obviously present. In this instance, therefore, my second translation affects only a line here and there, and the like will be done in relation to some poems cited later on.
I make no apology for translating with bald literality, for this is in the very nature of my undertaking. A reasonably poetical version would necessarily be less exact, and therefore less serviceable for my present purpose.
