Romano's fortunes. And, a crime so far,

Palma received that action: she was told

Of Salinguerra's nature, of his cold

Calm acquiescence in his lot! But free

To impart the secret to Romano, she

How the discovery moves Salinguerra,

Engaged to repossess Sordello of

His heritage, and hers, and that way doff

The mask, but after years, long years: while now,

Was not Romano's sign-mark on that brow?"
