“Berni makes Prasildo relieve the anguish of / unhappy love as Leigh Hunts Paolo does. Perhaps / Mr H. who is really conversant with Italian poets / retained the impress of this passage”

Fuller, Margaret. "Reading Notebook 1825–1827." Houghton Library, Harvard University.

Inferred Fuller alludes to 'Leigh Hunt's Paolo' in comparing Berni's treatment of unhappy love; the specific work is The Story of Rimini (1816). Fuller explicitly compares Berni's Prasildo to 'Leigh Hunt's Paolo,' the character Paolo Malatesta from Leigh Hunt's The Story of Rimini (1816).

“We do not always like to ride in the same omnibus with Hunt though the City of the Great Dead, and, full of beauties as is the Story of Rimini, we are sorry for Paolo and Francesca, that he had a chance to write about the secrets of their hearts and the manner of their lives.”
