| From the beginning there were public and private readings of individual sonnets and canzoni, with commentary on phrases and single words as well as discussion of whole poems. |
| These three canzoni were then embedded in a second prose work of Dante's, Il Convivio, which also frames and explicates his lyric verse. |
| Lorenzo's first essays in poetry were sonnets and canzoni in the style of the trecento. |
| These Canzoni a Ballo, though they lack the supreme beauty of Poliziano's style, are stylistically graceful. |
