In crumbling Naples marble—meant to look

Like those Messina marbles Constance took

Delight in, or Taurello's self conveyed

To Mantua for his mistress, Adelaide,

Since cloistered at Goito; only, these

Are up and doing, not abashed, a troop

Able to right themselves—who see you, stoop

Their arms o' the instant after you! Unplucked

By this or that, you pass; for they conduct
