Love's Bittersweet: Translations from the Irish Poets of the 16th and 17th Centuries (1925) - Translations from the Irish Poets of the 16th and 17th Centuries (Paperback)

The originals of most of the poems here translated will be found in the collection of love poetry edited by Professor O'Rahilly under the title 'Danta Gradha.' These poems correspond in time to the lyrics of the Elizabethan, Jacobean and Caroline poets in English. In their peculiar mingling of beauty and ironic wit they remind us in particular of the Cavalier poetry which drew much of its inspiration from John Donne, and some of the authors, for instance, Pierce Ferriter, were in the strict sense of the word Cavaliers, though with an Irish nuance.
