Of one true heart’s devotion! Oh divine

Creature, whom all the glory and the worth

That ever ravaged or redeem’d the earth

Were scanty worship offer’d at your shrine!

Oh Cipriano, master-fool of all

The fools that unto thee for wisdom call;

Of supercilious Pallas first the mock,

And now blind Cupid’s scorn, and laughing-stock;

Who in fantastic arrogance at odds

With the Pantheon of your people’s gods
