"Take us to Rome!"

Taken to Rome they were;

The husband trooping after, piteously,

Tail between legs, no talk of triumph now—

No honor set firm on its feet once more

On two dead bodies of the guilty,—nay,

No dubious salve to honor's broken pate

From chance that, after all, the hurt might seem

A skin-deep matter, scratch that leaves no scar:

For Guido's first search,—ferreting, poor soul,
