In these translations no attempt has been made at versifcation, and they do not claim any literary merit, but they may be used in singing the songs, if desired. In any case they will prove valuable to singers who are not familiar with the Italian language. i, cadences, &e., added in small type over the original The altera ent artists. ‘The Editor, however, does not music, are used by many e hold himself responsible for them, and leaves their adoption or rejection to the taste and discretion of the singer.7 APRITE UN PO’ QUEGL OCCHI.
