Excerpt from The Story of Rimini: A Poem

The commentators differ in their accounts of the rest of the story; but all agree that the lady was in some measure beguiled into the match with the elder Malatesta, - Boccaccio says, by being shewn the younger brother once, as he passed over a square, and told that that was her intended hus band. I have accordingly turned this artifice to account, though in a different manner. Ihave also omitted the lameness attributed to the bus. Band; and of two different names by which he is called, Giovanni and Launcelot, have chosen the former, as not interfering with the hero's appella tion, whose story the lovers were reading.
