These few extracts, however, will suffice to show that, without Salandra's 'Adamo, the 'Paradise Lost, as we know it, would not be in existence; and that Zicari's discovery is therefore one of primary importance for English letters, although it would be easy to point out divergencies between the two works divergencies often due to the varying tastes and feelings of a republican Englishman and an Italian Catholic, and to the different conditions imposed by an epic and a dramatic poem.
Adamo strode about, his sad, lazy eyes gazing nowhere in particular. Adamo affected to work hard, but in reality he did nothing but sweep the leaves away from the border of the fountain, and remove the débris caused by the fire.
Woe betide all but Fra Pacifico, who had so often licked him in drawn battles, when the dog had leaped upon him, that now Argo fled at sight of his priestly garments with a howl! Adamo, who, after his mid-day meal, required tobacco and repose, would not move to save any one's soul, much less his body.
These drafts also contain a chorus, such as Salandra has placed in his drama, and a great number of mutes, who do not figure in the English epic, but who reappear in the 'Adamo Caduto' and all similar works.
Before the shadow of Adamo is upon him before the dogs noses touch him Nobili is on his feet. He is safe! Coming suddenly out of the darkness, after the great force he had put forth, Nobili feels giddy and bewildered. At first he sees nothing but that there is a light in the centre of the room. As his eyes fix themselves upon it the light almost blinds him.
The 'Adamo Caduto, of course, is only one of a series of similar works concerning which a large literature has now grown up, and it might not be difficult to prove that Salandra was indebted to some previous writer for those words and phrases which he passed on to the English poet. But where did Milton become acquainted with this tragedy?
"Have I ever complained," is Adamo's answer, "that the marchesa asks me?" "You saved my life, Adamo, not long ago, from the fire." The eager look is growing intenser. "I have never thanked you. Adamo " "Padrona" he is more and more amazed at her "she must be going to die! Gesù mio! I wish she would swear at me," Adamo thought. "Padrona, don't thank me Domine Dio did it."
The Adamo of Andreini was a personage sufficiently original and poetical to serve as the model of the Adam of Milton. The youthful English poet, at its representation, carried it away in his mind. Wit, indeed, is a great traveller; and thus also the "Empiric" of Massinger might have reached us from the Bolognese Dottore. The late Mr.
The door to the garden, by which Nobili had entered the chapel, was now locked. Adamo had given her the key. She must therefore see them when they passed out through the sala. At this moment the howling of the dogs was audible. They were chained up in the cave under the tower. Poor beasts, they had been forgotten in the hurry of the day. The dogs were hungry; were yelping for their food.
"After all," thought Adamo to himself, "if the padrona is going to die, I may as well have these notes as another." "I would save your life any day, padrona," Adamo says aloud. "It is a pleasure." "Would you?" the marchesa fell into a muse. Again the dogs howled. Adamo makes a motion to go to them. "Were you going to feed the dogs when I called to you?" she asks. "Padrona, yes.
