Dante's classic poem 1 to Brunetto Latini [1]-a poem attached to a new life.
Master Brunetto, this is my Meidochan.
To spend her Easter with you.
Not good at calculating the fun of a party-
Her desire is hard to satisfy, only reading.
If she has a rash, her taste is beyond measure.
It is difficult to find a trace in the noisy jokes of the crowd;
Ha! A little sweet talk will benefit her,
Then lie down in the head of your new partner.
But if you don't understand her correctly,
It's just that there are many elders Albert around [3].
Their wisdom can solve all troubles.
Discuss with them, please don't laugh at this sweet girl;
If you still think her secret is profound,
Please bring Master Janus out to end this problem.

Dante's classic poem 2 Dante to Chino, written in exile [1]
Because I have no one to talk to.
God, I belong to him and so do you.
Should stay in your ears, part of your mind,
I will pour out everything with joy.
Are you sure there were no other accidents,
In my long silence, when I left home,
Except this forbidden area, I feel so guilty,
Power will not give anyone the right to stop it. [2]
When the goddess of love came here, she no longer appeared in other girls' faces.
No one came here to really sympathize with me,
Just say "you idiot" without any cover-up.
Oh! Master Chino, how despicable and cruel time is,
It laughs at you and me and says "bah" to our rhythm!
However, the harvest of truth [3] is so low. [4]

To annotate ...
1302, Dante went to Rome. During this period, a coup took place in Florence, the opposition party came to power, and Dante was sentenced to two years in exile. Dante was sentenced to life in exile because he refused to plead guilty.
[2] Here, the forbidden zone formed by guilt still refers to Beatrice.
[3] The word "truth" here, Rossetti's English translation is "truth", while Dante's original poem is "goodness", which is obviously different. Here is still treated as Rossetti's translated words to present the original appearance of his translation.
[4] Dante was naturally depressed during his exile; This poem also reveals his anxiety about whether his works can stand the test of time. But on the other hand, we can still see Dante who has finished "New Life", and she has not left Beatrice behind. She constitutes Dante's "forbidden zone in long silence". In the difficult exile, Dante has been looking for an "unprecedented" opportunity and method to write Beatrice. "Power will not give anyone the right to stop it."
Dante's classic poem 3 "Garland"
For what I saw.
A wreath, every flower
Will make me sigh.
I saw it in my girl.
A flower with a very soft color
Garland; On it
I saw humble little love god flying,
In his euphemistic singing.
He said, "Who has seen me?
You will praise my Lord.
If I am gentle and beautiful
And my violetta,
Then I will make a statement to that person.
Remember when I sighed and the girl said:
In order to stimulate my desire,
The girl with the crown of love,
Can't you come here?
I use these innovative words.
Weave a group of flowers into a song,
I stole one out of pleasure.
Clothes for others.
But here I want to ask:
Whoever sang it,
We should pay tribute to him.

The poem "Garland" is selected from a collection of poems and also belongs to a "tender new style" poem.
Poets often compare beauty with flowers. In this poem, Dante shows the beauty of Beat Ritchie, a girl in his mind, through the comparison of garlands and flowers, and all virtues return. Dante's love for Beat Ritchie is an innocent and romantic platonic spiritual love. After Bitrich's death, Dante loved another woman, but Bitrich was always the goddess who dominated his heart.
The first verse of this poem is about the fragrance and beauty of the flowers gathered on the garland. In contrast, every flower is eclipsed, and the poet has to sigh and regret for it. It implies that Beat Ritchie is superior in beauty and virtue, and no one can compare with her. What is revealed in the poet's sigh is his admiration for the wreath, his beloved girl.
In the second verse of the poem, it is written that this is not an ordinary wreath. Because the lyric hero saw humble little love god flying on every soft flower in the garland, the garland was not only beautiful, but also exuded the fragrance of virtue. All who see the garland can't help praising the creator. Through the wreath, the poet praised his girl and defeated Ricky.
In the third section, the lyric hero changed his perspective to express his love for the girl in his mind. Poets who write in subjunctive mood are with other gentle and beautiful women. Why don't girls wearing love crowns come among them? The "girl wearing a love corolla" here refers to the goddess of love wearing a love corolla presented by a poet. The hidden poet has been unable to transfer his love to other girls, and defeating Ricky has occupied all the poet's love, which is the poet's love for God.
In the last paragraph of the poem, the poet summed up his previous feelings and said that he could fully express his praise for the girl in his mind with "innovative words", that is, fluent, fresh and easy to understand Florentine. Out of joy, he "even stole other people's clothes" and praised his girl with all the quips that the poet praised women; However, the poet implores no matter who sings these love songs, don't forget to pay tribute to his goddess of love-girl, because she is the most perfect!
The poem Garland expresses the hidden love of God in the poet's heart through the combination of simile and metaphor, so it is written implicitly and tactfully. In the poem, the poet boldly expresses his feelings in Italian, dares to break through the barriers of Latin and religious asceticism, and shows his courage as a pioneer.
