James Russell Lowell, Among my books, Dante. (search)
poken of among the authors of lascivious stories: There have been many of these historical pandars, of which some of obscure fame, as Aeneas Sylvius, Dantes, and Petrarch, Boccace, Pontanus, etc. Ed. Lond. 1684, p. 199. The first German translation was that of Kannegiesser (1809).

The passage I have italicized is most likely an extract, and reminds one of the long-breathed periods of Milton. Drummond of Hawthornden tells us, he [Ben Jonson] hath by heart some verses of Spenser's Calendar, about wine, between Coline and Percye (Cuddie and Piers).

The latter are the more evident, but I think that Sp
