Excerpt from Lives of the Italian Poets, Vol. 3 of 3 The circumstances of Bernardo about this time were, as has been said, better than they had ever been since the first shock of his fortunes, but he was still not in a state to support the increasing expenses of Torquato's maintenance and education. In order, therefore, to meet them in the best man ner possible, he determined on accepting the in vitation of the Cardinal d'este for himself, and of Annibale di Capua for his son, who was placed with that nobleman as a companion in his studies! To Bernardo's temporary connection with the house of Este was owing the dedication of the Rinaldo to the Cardinal, but it is asserted by the oldest of Torquato's biographers, that this circumstance occurred in Opposition to his father's wishes, who would have had it inscribed to the Duke of Man tua. The error, however, of this statement is evident, as Bernardo was not in the employ of the latter Prince till after the publication of the poem.
