Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Literal Prose Translation of Five Select Pieces From the Works of Tasso, Metastasio and Alfieri, Vol. 1: With the Accent of the Text, and Explanatory Notes of the Poetical Words and Elisions, Intended for Learners of Italian The present Translations being merely intended to guide the English Learners of Italian to the understanding of Italian Poetry, and they being in a literal Prose, the Public, of course, must not expect to find, in them, great elegance of Language, or elevation of Stile: the best liberal Versions fall always short of the original Poetry, and a close one must fall still shorter; consequently this was not, nor could be the object I had in view. They will be found faithful Versions; consistent, however, with a plain, correct stile, which, though it may be unsuitable to the subjects, is connected, at least, with the Idiom and my Plan.
