Note 677:B — Chapter IV · (continued 2)
Reading edition
The Sonnets of Barnes, which are written in strict adherence to the recurring rima of the Italian school, frequently possess no inconsiderable beauties. The Sonnet on Content, selected by Mr. Beloe (vol. ii. p. 78.), from Parthenophil, is highly pleasing and harmonious, and at least twenty of his centenary may be pronounced, both in imagery and versification, above mediocrity.
