I saw a girl sitting on a stone bench near; she was bent over a book, on the perusal of which she seemed intent: from where I stood I could see the title--it was "Rasselas;" a name that struck me as strange, and consequently attractive.
Scórsi allora una ragazza seduta a poca distanza da me su una panchina; ella teneva fra le mani un libro, che pareva assorbire tutta la sua attenzione. Lessi il titolo: era Rasselas.
