Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Orlando Furioso, Vol. 1 of 5: Translated From the Italian
But whatever liberties we 'may allow an author like Ariofto, with refpeét to mixture of charac ter or fiyle, yet proverbial and ludicrous expref fions, or vulgar images, immediately mixed with fubjeé'ts of pathos, or elevation, mufi be ever difgufiing. On this occafion the author of the 1f3a on the Genius and Writings of Pope, makes fome excellent remarks, which he is led to from fome pafi'ages of this kind introduced by Mr. Pope in his Temple of Fame.
