Oh yes! we met within

The garden that adjoins the Spaniard’s palace—

That fatal palace!—and he came, to murder

My Foscarini—sought him where he fled;

Sought him, and found him! Then his malice wrought

That horrid tale which has deceived you all,

Of crime, and treason, and conspiracy;—

Ye know it now—it blanches you with fear—

You—to whom blood’s no stranger! Can you wonder

It maddens me?
