Besides a long historical discourse, in eighteen chapters, delivered by way of instruction to the envoys, Margaret sent a courier beforehand with a variety of intelligence concerning the late events. Alonzo del Canto, one of Philip's spies in the Netherlands, also wrote to inform the King that the two ambassadors were the real authors of all the troubles then existing in the country.
The second canto ends, it may be remembered, with the despatch of Bracy the bard to the castle of Sir Roland: "Over the mountains the Bard, as directed by Sir Leoline, hastes with his disciple; but, in consequence of one of those inundations supposed to be common to the country, the spot only where the castle once stood is discovered, the edifice itself being washed away. He determines to return.
She got down Ariosto and began to read to me the adventure of Ricciardetto with Fiordespina, an episode which gives its beauty to the twenty-ninth canto of that beautiful poem which I knew by heart. She imagined that she was the princess, and I Ricciardetto. She liked to fancy, 'Che il ciel L'abbia concesso, Bradamante cangiata in miglior sesso. When she came to the lines;
The indignation against the revolting subjugation of womanhood comes out still more distinctly in the preceding canto, where Cythna relates the horrors to which she was subjected.

"Ah, yes; but I never heard anyone else say so. Did you?" "Do you remember that line in the third canto of the 'Inferno?" "Ah, that line my favorite always.

The Canto de Caliope records the names of those only whom Cervantes considered to be eminent poets masters en la alegre sciencia dela poesia and hence it is to the poet that he refers when he writes in his 84th stanza: IV Luis sin pena.
Canto V., line 84: LONGFELLOW. "Fly through the air by their volition borne." CARY. "Cleave the air, wafted by their will along." PARSONS. "Sped ever onward by their wish alone." "Volan per l' aer dal voler portate." Canto XVII., line 42: LONGFELLOW. "That he concede to us his stalwart shoulders." CARY "That to us he may vouchsafe The aid of his strong shoulders."
