John,
Thanks for this,
I've got Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, but apparently he also wrote some more Classical satire as well, and that's what I found a very old translation of. I'm going to look into Alfieri now, as well as Agrippa d'Aubigné.
Yeah, I haven't read any Boileau: I'm interested in him because of his influence on English literary history more than anything else.
I'll check out the rest, as well. My German is okay, but not great. I'm concentrating on making my Latin really firm; from there it isn't hard to get comfort with French/Italian/Spanish. German will have to just run parallel.
