Note 709 — Chapter IV · THE DISCOVERY OF MAN. SPIRITUAL DESCRIPTION IN POETRY.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
Blank verse became at a later time the usual form for dramatic compositions. Trissino, in the dedication of his Sofonisba to Leo X., expressed the hope that the Pope would recognise this style for what it was—as better, nobler, and less easy than it looked. Roscoe, Leone X., ed. Bossi, viii. 174.
