...Vergil, after passing Cato, enter what Dante calls the Ante-Purgatory. This is probably an invention of the poet, and has a direct allegorical interpretation. Through this place the poets travel during two days, and here Dante meets his former friend Cassella, the musician, who sings them that famous song, which is, perhaps, the most exquisite, and deepest in meaning of any we find in the Divine Comedy. On the third day the poets pass the gate of Purgatory, and find before them three stairways, the first of polished marble; the second rougher and dark in color, and the third...

...singing of the Glee Club, especially in the softer songs, "Ben Bolt" and "In Picardie," was marked by an unusually careful attention to expression. The latter song was, from a musical point of view, the best on the programme.
