Pamphlets which set forth all the pleasantry

Of how the promised glory was a dream,

The power a bubble, and the wealth—why, dust.

There was a picture, painted to the life,

Of those rare doings, that superlative

Initiation in magnificence

Conferred on a poor Roman family

By favor of Arezzo and her first

And famousest, the Franceschini there.

You had the Countship holding head aloft
