Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lyricks, Vol. 1: Sonnets, Canzons, Odes, and Sextines
Also let me request English readers, who would form a critical estimate Of the Camonian Sonnet, to renew their acquaintance with those of Shakespeare and Spenser. Finally they might oblige me by remem bering the weighty words of Milton - Books are not dead things, but do contain, as in a phiall, the potent. Efficacy of the spirit that bred them. They will not find a nobler spirit than Camoens. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
