But we were wiser: at the end comes this!"

And from that minute, where is Luria? Lost!

The very stones of Florence cry against

The all-exacting, naught-enduring fool,

Who thus resents her first probation, flouts

As if he, only, shone and cast no shade,

He, only, walked the earth with privilege

Against suspicion, free where angels fear:

He, for the first inquisitive mother's-word,

Must turn, and stand on his defence, forsooth!
