To the music of the storm.

Quit thee bravely, stout Colonna,

Drive the Paynim crew before thee;

We must win our country's freedom

In the battle-dance to-day.

Thus we'll dance down all our tyrants—

Thus we'll dance thy routed armies

Down the hills of Vescovato,

Heaven-accurséd Genoa!

—still new evolutions, till at length they dance the last figure, called the resa, and the Saracen yields.
