Family reasons have been alleged by Baruffaldi, one of Ariosto's many biographers, but they seem entirely inadequate and unsatisfactory, and the whole matter still remains shrouded in mystery. One side of the question which has not perhaps been presented before is this would there have been any change in the tone of Ariosto's lyric verse if Alessandra had been known to all the world as his wife?
This literary treasure, which cannot be contemplated without emotion, once belonged to Baruffaldi, one of the most eminent literary characters of modern Italy.
The air of his verse must agree with you before you can perceive all its freshness and vitality. I was unable to see this writer's principal authority, Baruffaldi, till I corrected the proofs and the press was waiting; otherwise I might have added two or three more particulars, not, however, of any great consequence.
