The sweetness of Pompilia, rolled again

That bloated bubble, with her soul inside,

Back to Arezzo and a palace there—

Or say, a fissure in the honest earth

Whence long ago had curled the vapor first,

Blown big by nether fires to appall day:

It touched home, broke, and blasted far and wide.

I saw the cheated couple find the cheat

And guess what foul rite they were captured for,—

Too fain to follow over hill and dale
