Made prize of certain secret missives sent

From Braccio here, the Commissary, home:

And knowing Florence otherwise, I piece

The entire chain out, from these its scattered links.

Your trial occupies the Signory;

They sit in judgment on your conduct now.

When men at home inquire into the acts

Which in the field e'en foes appreciate ...

Brief, they are Florentines! You, saving them,

Seek but the sure destruction saviors find.
