Cæs. The Bourbon hath given orders for the assault,

And by the dawn there will be work.

Arn.‍Alas!

And shall the city yield? I see the giant

Abode of the true God, and his true saint,

Saint Peter, rear its dome and cross into

That sky whence Christ ascended from the cross,40

Which his blood made a badge of glory and

Of joy (as once of torture unto him),—

God and God's Son, man's sole and only refuge!
