An armed Knight's captive and slave confessed.

VEGGIO CO' BEI VOSTRI OCCHI

With your fair eyes a charming light I see,

For which my own blind eyes would peer in vain;

Stayed by your feet the burden I sustain

Which my lame feet find all too strong for me;

Wingless upon your pinions forth I fly;

Heavenward your spirit stirreth me to strain;

E'en as you will, I blush and blanch again,

Freeze in the sun, burn 'neath a frosty sky.
