VOCERO OF A GIRL FOR HER FATHER.
I came forth from Calanca
At the twelfth hour of the night,
And everywhere I sought him,
I sought him by torchlight,—
And when I found my father,
'Twas his corpse that met my sight.
(Another girl enters, seeking a relative, also slain.)
Ye who would find Matteju,
Go farther up the steep;
