Seem’d guilty, past recalling:
The Baron now his life demands
Where the tall Gibbet skirts the lands
With black’ning bones appalling!
Low at the Baron’s feet, in tears
Fair Zorietto kneeling,
The Goatherd’s life requir’d;—but found
That Pride can give the deepest wound
Without the pang of feeling.
That Pow’r can mock the suff’rer’s woes
