In this instance, while he adheres to a complex rhyming structure and fashions a trimeter equivalent for the original's setenarii, DGR does not follow exactly the rhyme order of the Italian poem. The translation intersects with ideas and even phrasings that come out in DGR's original poetry. Compare, e.g., “Love's Nocturn” or the sestet of “A Superscription” .

The original canzonetta seems not in fact to be the work of Bonaggiunta; at any rate, no authoritative modern scholar includes the poem in the corpus.

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.
