Note 127 — DANTE.[1] (continued 2)
F. J. (Frederick John) Church translation
E'en as a falcon, long upheld in air, Not seeing lure or bird upon the wing, So that the falconer utters in despair "Alas, thou stoop'st!" fatigued descends from high; And whirling quickly round in many a ring, Far from his master sits—disdainfully.—Ibid.
