    “Their martyred blood and ashes sow
    O’er all the Italian fields where still doth sway
    The triple tyrant; that from these may grow
    A hundredfold, who, having learnt thy way,
    Early may fly the Babylonian woe.”

    Hear your lame music,
    Believe music rejects undertaking,
    Limps back.”
