Mario Teluccini, Erasto in verse
From The Seven Sages of Rome
Mario Teluccini's verse Erasto poem, composed in ottava rima, in nine cantos, was published in 1566 - just decades after the emergence of the first version of the Erasto narrative in 1542. Wikeley observes that in addition to attempting to build on the Erasto's popularity, Teluccini was also drawing on Ariosto's Orlando furioso for inspiration (Wikeley, 1983, p. 11-12). The poem was not immensely successful, however.
