Chapter XII: Canto V: , line 51

LONGFELLOW.--"People whom the black air so castigates.
CARY.--"By the black air so scourged." [46]

[46] "Genti che l' aura nera si gastiga."

Line 136:--

LONGFELLOW.--"Kissed me upon the mouth all palpitating."
CARY.--"My lips all trembling kissed." [47]

[47] "La bocca mi bacio tutto tremante."

"Purgatorio," Canto XV., line 139:--

LONGFELLOW.--
"We passed along, athwart the twilight peering
Forward as far as ever eye could stretch
Against the sunbeams serotine and lucent." [48]

[48] "Noi andavam per lo vespero attenti
Oltre, quanto potean gli occhi allungarsi,
Contra i raggi serotini e lucenti."

Mr. Cary's "bright vespertine ray" is only a trifle better; but Mr. Wright's "splendour of the evening ray" is, in its simplicity, far preferable.
