Note 615 — Chapter X · MODERN LATIN POETRY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
We may remark of the Coltivazione of L. Alamanni, written in Italian ‘versi sciolti,’ that all the really poetical and enjoyable passages are directly or indirectly borrowed from the ancients (an old ed., Paris, 1540; new ed. of the works of A., 2 vols., Florence, 1867).
