She shall pass and pass through consuming fire."

This was the oath which he did swear

When he cursed her face in his hate of her.

So Ugo rode on Reggio

And called on the name of Abramo,

Claiming the body of her who wrought

Love's enchantments and made distraught

The souls of the lovers who came to her,

And told of the oath which he did swear.

They bade him stand without the wall
