But the Italian thro’ Florence, his city familiar,

Fared happily ever, none knowing the crime and the passion,

Winning honor and guerdon in peaceful and prosperous decades,

Supreme over all, and rejoiced with the cheers and the clanging.

Carissima! what? and you wonder the world did not loathe him?

Child, he lived long, and was lauded, and died very famous.


AFTER THE STORM.

I.
