FOLGORE DA SAN GEMIGNANO
translated by
DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI
“I give you horses for your games in May,
And all of them well trained unto the course—
Each docile, swift, erect, a goodly horse:
With armor on their chests and bells at play
Between their brows, and pennons fair and gay;
Fine nets and housings meet for warriors,
Emblazoned with the shields ye claim for yours,
