Canto 2: April 24
Amours de Voyage was written in 1849, when Clough was in Rome. It deals, in a series of verse-letters, with two parallel events: Claude's relationship with the Trevellyn family—with Alary, in particular —and the war between the Roman Republic and France. The poem is written for the most part in English hexameters.
