The value of this work of Lord Vernon's to the students of Dante, in enabling them to secure accuracy in their statements in regard to the early texts, has been illustrated to us by finding that Blanc, in his useful and excellent "Vocabolario Dantesco," has not unfrequently fallen into error through his inability to consult those first editions.
"Danzando al loro angelico carribo." If this be correct, carribo cannot signify "a dance," but rather "the song which accompanies the dance"; and the true sense of the passage will have been best rendered by Mr. Cary. See Blanc, Vocabolario Dantesco, s. v. "caribo." Whenever Mr. Longfellow's translation is kept free from oddities of diction and construction, it is very animated and vigorous.
