To the mill and the grange, this cottage and that shed.

Soon followed the Public Force; pursuit began

Though Guido had the start and chose the road:

So, that same night was he, with the other four,

Overtaken near Baccano,—where they sank

By the wayside, in some shelter meant for beasts,

And now lay heaped together, nuzzling swine,

Each wrapped in bloody cloak, each grasping still

His unwiped weapon, sleeping all the same

The sleep o' the just,—a journey of twenty miles
