In these Publications, vol. XII (1897), Professor R. E. Neil Dodge, in an article entitled Spenser's Imitations from Ariosto, described and commented on a large number of parallels between the two poets. This work was so thoroughly done that no one can expect to add greatly to his lists. Yet one cannot ever be sure of having exhausted the similarities between The Faerie Queene and the Orlando Furioso, and later gleaners, as Professor Dodge understood, may expect to be regarded with scattered ears. Since our knowledge of the relation of these two poems cannot be too full, I present here a few additional observations.
1 I have not counted the last stanza of the hook, which is somewhat in the manner of Ariosto, hut concludes the hook rather than the canto.
