Excerpt from Dante's Divina Commedia: Translated Into English, in the Metre and Triple Rhyme of the Original; With Notes; Inferno

Countrymen and, in those cases, a faithful trans lation is better than total ignorance, or even than spelling painfully through a poem, with the aid of grammar and dictionary. But the faithfulness of a translation consists, not merely in the sense, but likewise in the sound and therefore I have preferred attempting the very difficult triple rhyme of the original, rather than the easier task of writing in blank verse. I have also, as far as possible, kept the same words, the same rhymes, as in the original, and even its occasionally almost grotesque peculiarities.
