Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...and distraction: or from the Ital. Sogno diverso, a frightful, hideous dreame. Cerbero fiera crudele e diversa. Dante, Infern. C. vi. l. IS. (Vol. ii. p. 351.) He pluckt a bough; out of whose rifte there came Small drops of gory bloud, that trickled down the same. (Bk. i. Cant. ii. St. 30.) I believe that the reader need not be put in mind, that this wonderful tale (so well adapted to the genius of romance) is taken from Virgil.... Compare Dante Inferno, Canto xiii. 11. 28 ff.. (Vol. ii. p. 359.) Her neather partes, mishapen, monstruous, Were hidd in water, that I could not see. (Bk. i. Cant. ii. St. 41.)
