Notes

  • Editor's note: In the following Sonnets, the arrangement of the rhymes is somewhat peculiar. In departing from the Italian model in this respect, the author feels conscious of not being induced thereto by a desire merely to innovate. But carefully trying the form he has here chosen, not to say invented, by his own ear, he ventures to believe that it fits the English sonnet - or rather, the sonnet in English - more agreeable than the adopted one above referred to.
