Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Godfrey of Bulloigne Or, the Recovery of Jerusalem, Vol. 1 of 2: Done Into English Heroical Verse, From the Italian of Tasso
Torquato was the son of Bernardo Tasso, and of Porzia de Rossi. He was born on the 11th of March, 1544. The same distinction which the cities of Greece sought to acquire in claiming Homer for their denizen, has been suggested to the towns of Italy by the fame of Tasso. Sorrento demands him because she was his birth-place.
