Who twinkle, pigeons o'er the portico

Not prettier, bind June lilies into sheaves

To deck the bridge-side chapel, dropping leaves

Because it is pleasant to be young,

Soiled by their own loose gold-meal?

Ah, beneath

The cool arch stoops she, brownest cheek! Her wreath

Endures a month—a half month—if I make

A queen of her, continue for her sake

Sordello's story? Nay, that Paduan girl
