The close adherence to the source produces odd variances in the prosodic form of the first, second, and fourth stanzas, which should be following the metrical structure proper (as exemplified for instance in stanza 2).

Although DGR's notes say that this is “the only instance, among Dante's predecessors, of a poem. . .written on a lady's death”, Pier della Vigna's planctus “Amando con fin core” is another (though less distinguished) example.

Textual History: Composition

As with most of DGR's translations of the early Italian poets, the date of this one cannot be determined with certainty. It is probably one of the early translations.
