INTRODUCTION TO THE GALATEA.

"Summers of the snakeless meadow, unlaborious earth, and oarless sea."

V?monos en un punto en el paraje, Do la nutriz de Eneas piadoso Hizo el forzoso y ?ltimo pasaje. Vimos desde all? ? poco el m?s famoso Monte que encierra en s? nuestro hemisfero, M?s gallardo ? la vista y m?s hermoso. Las cenizas de T?tiro y Sincero Est?n en ?l, y puede ser por esto Nombrado entre los montes por primero.

The unfinished window in Aladdin's tower Unfinished must remain.

In this extraordinary agony, The feelings entertained go but for dumb Seeing that love defies, And I am cast in the midst of the fierce fire. Cold water I abhor Were it not for my eyes, Which fire augments and spoils In this amorous forge. I wish not or seek water, Or from annoyance supplicate relief.

Begin would all my good, My ills would finish all, If fate should so ordain, That my sincere trust in life, Silenca would assure, Sighs assure it. My eyes do thoroughly me inform Me weeping in this truth. Pen, tongue, will In this inflexible reason me confirm.

These examples speak for themselves. Cervantes was not indeed a very great poet; but his verses are often graceful and melodious, and it would have afflicted him sorely to see his lines travestied in this miserable fashion. It is inexplicable that such absolute nonsense should be published. But it is a singular testimony to the public interest in all concerning Cervantes that, in default of anything better, this discreditable version should have been read, and even reprinted.
