To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When Boniface allied with Este's Lord Went forth to win Ferrara with his sword, Was lured to treat for peace within the place, For him deep Ecelin contrived disgrace — He drew his sister back, the Count's own wife ; So he outraged the Count, renewed the strife To hold, or lose, all fair Verona town. Rash Boniface entrapped, enraged, put down, Betrayed, one year a prisoner was kept Within Ferrara's gates; Cunizza slept In peace, fled to her brother's own domain, At his hest by Sordello brought a...gain.
What youth's quick sense is locked in walls of ice ? Not long Sordello distant kept, precise, Nor vainly spoke, assiduous to the bride Who first had won, then kept him to her side. Man's fervid passion swiftly then, as now, W T arm kisses gave and won for lip and brow ; Its sense was sudden, love imperative ; Believe it well to know what love can give, What kiss Sordello took, what kiss he gave, What bliss oi love was his before the grave. How young ! how mad ! how blest these lovers were !
