And where was I found but on a strange bed

In a strange room like hell, roaring with noise,

Ruddy with flame, and filled with men, in front

Who but the man you call my husband? ay—

Count Guido once more between heaven and me,

For there my heaven stood, my salvation, yes—

That Caponsacchi all my heaven of help,

Helpless himself, held prisoner in the hands

Of men who looked up in my husband's face

To take the fate thence he should signify,
