Note 11 — GABRIELE ROSSETTI
William Michael Rossetti translation
This poem by Rossetti forms one in a series bearing the following title: Per la Ricuperata Salute di S. M. Ferdinando I., Attestato di Gioia della Società Sebezia. Napoli, 1819. Agostino Gallo (named immediately afterwards) contributed a Sapphic ode. Of course the name Gallo means “Cock”: Corvo (“Raven,” or bird of ill-omen) is jocularly proposed as a substitute.—W.
