Crawl, mate, and spawn beneath God's sky;

Therefore. . .

He raised his hand on high

As he would smite her upturned face.

A sword leapt flashing down through space

And lopt the coward at the joint.

Corrado on his blade's red point

Pricked up the hand, "Tis thus we use

Our dastard knights, whose hands abuse

Our womenfolk in Reggio."
