It is a most interesting account of this poet, whose love poems have perished. Abelard, as we know him, is the knight-errant of learning. He gave up his inheritance for study, as Daniel left learning to become a jongleur. LA DOLCE LINGUA TOSCANA 91 Abandon hope all ye who enter upon any extended study of this period without some smattering of scholastic philosophy. Hell we have had in Pindar and Virgil ; heaven, somewhat, in Plato; but the Tuscan poets gambol through the complicated Aquinean un...iverse with an inconsequent preciseness which bewilders one accustomed to nothing more complex than modern civilization. Guinicelli escapes from labyrinthine circumplications in the famed and beautiful canzone which Rossetti has translated : " Within the gentle heart Love shelters him, As birds within the green shade of the grove. Before the gentle heart, in Nature's scheme Love was not, nor the gentle heart ere Love. ^ The fire of Love comes to the gentle heart Like as its virtue to a precious stone ; To which no star its influence can impart Till it is made a pure thing by the sun.
