Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Bibliographical and Critical Account of the Rarest Books in the English Language, Vol. 2 of 4: Alphabetically Arranged Which During the Last Fifty Years Have Come Under the Observation of J. Payne Collier F. S In another stanza of the same Canto, likening the rapid motion of Rinaldo´s sword to the tongue of a serpent, - "To moove three toongs as a fierce serpent showes, Which rolles the one she hath swift, speedie, quicke." A third instance occurs in the same division of the work, where Tasso is adverting to the alteration in Soliman from courage to scare, - "But so doth heaven mens harts turne, alter, change." Fairefax was certainly a very fastidious and dissatisfied translator, and copies of his version exist by which it is found that the first stanza was three times "turned, altered, changed": it not (infrequently happens that what Fairefax considered the improved rendering is pasted over the one which he first adopted. It may he worth while to insert all three, for the purpose of comparison.

In vaine gainst him did Hell oppose her might; In vaine the Turks and Morians armed bee: His soldiers wilde (to braules and mutines prest) Reduced he to peace, so heav´n him blest." The slip sometimes found pasted over the above stanza contains the following alterations: - "I sing the warre made in the Holy land, And the great Chiefe that Christs great tombe did free.
