Excerpt from Historic Survey of German Poetry, Interspersed With Various Translations, 1830, Vol. 3 of 3 The first hint to undertake this work was given by the Abbé Bertola's Idea della bella Letteratura Alemanna, of which some notice occurs in the ninth volume of Maty's Review. It was the first Survey of a foreign Poetry in which all the specimens adduced were metrically translated, and that with felicity, into the vernacular language of the historian. Equal attention has, I hope, been paid to the various versions in this selection, if they want the euphony of Italian diction, they comprehend at least a wider range of imitation, and more frequently adhere to the metrical forms of the originals. Well to characterize German Poetry it is necessary to display the plasticity of its versification, which copies with equal readiness the measures of ancient scansion, and the rimes of modern symmetry.
