To which far off responded

With a great cry of mingled human woe

The cursed battle-field of Campaldino.

And thou, Rea Meloria,

Didst rise from the Tuscan sea

To tell the glory of this horrid slaughter,

And of the Thyrrenian shores made desolate

With this our madness, and the sea's great bosom

All stained with blood, and far Liguria's strand

Filled with the moan of lonely Pisan exiles
