To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Let me have neither sun, moon, nor planet, Nor " the Bear, " nor " the Twins, ' nor " the Goat: Vet its use to each eye that may scan it, Let a glance at its emblems denote. Then away with Minerva and Venus ! Not a rush for them both do I care ; But let jolly old Father Silenus, Astride on his jackass, be there '. The Songs of Italy. 221 Let a dance of gay satyrs, in cadence Disporting, be seen mid the fruit ; And let Pan to a group of young maidens Teach a new vintage-lay on his flute ; Cupid,... too, hand in hand with Bathyllus, Slay purple his feet in the foam : Long may last the red joys they distil us ! Tho Love spread his winglets to roam ! Each line of the above is pregnant with meaning ; and the images are so gracfully arranged, that it would be an e, isy task for the artist to embody in basso-relievo the conceptions of the poet. The songsters of Italy have not confined themselves so exclusively to the charms of the ladies and the fascinations of the flask, as not to have felt the noble pulse of patriotic emotion, and sung the anthem of independence.
