...he yellow satin caught up with silver fringe,
It peeps out delightfully from under a mantle.
Am I well painted to-day, `caro Abate mio'?
You will be proud of me at the `Ridotto', hey?
Proud of being `Cavalier Servente' to such a lady?"
"Can you doubt it, `Bellissima Contessa'?
A pinch more rouge on the right cheek,
And Venus herself shines less . . ."
"You bore me, Abate,
I vow I must change you!
A letter, Achmet?
Run and look out of the window, Abate.
I will read my letter i...Read more of this...

...Thorough the Palace portals, and behold
The dainty and unsating Marriage-Feast.
O, hear
Them singing clear
'Cor meum et caro mea'round the 'I am',
The Husband of the Heavens, and the Lamb
Whom they for ever follow there that kept,
Or, losing, never slept
Till they reconquer'd had in mortal fight
The standard white.
O, hear
From the harps they bore from Earth, five-strung, what music springs,
While the glad Spirits chide
The wondering strings!
And how the shining sacrificial C...Read more of this...

...via, per altri porti
verrai a piaggia, non qui, per passare:
pi? lieve legno convien che ti porti».
E 'l duca lui: «Caron, non ti crucciare:
vuolsi cos? col? dove si puote
ci? che si vuole, e pi? non dimandare».
Quinci fuor quete le lanose gote
al nocchier de la livida palude,
che 'ntorno a li occhi avea di fiamme rote.

...e, segnor mio,
l? 've ogne ben si termina e s'inizia,
per te si veggia come la vegg'io,
grata m'? pi?; e anco quest'ho caro

Fatto m'hai lieto, e cos? mi fa chiaro,
poi che, parlando, a dubitar m'hai mosso
com'esser pu?, di dolce seme, amaro».
Questo io a lui; ed elli a me: «S'io posso
mostrarti un vero, a quel che tu dimandi

Lo ben che tutto il regno che tu scandi

...vera carne.
Se per veder la sua ombra restaro,
com'io avviso, assai è lor risposto:
fàccianli onore, ed essere può lor caro».
Vapori accesi non vid'io sì tosto
di prima notte mai fender sereno,
né, sol calando, nuvole d'agosto,
che color non tornasser suso in meno;
e, giunti là, con li altri a noi dier volta
come schiera che scorre sanza freno.
«Questa gente che preme a noi è molta,
e vegnonti a pregar», disse 'l poeta:
«però pur va, e in andando ascolta».
