Who will he be, how will you call the man?

A Franceschini,—when who cut my purse,

Filched my name, hemmed me round, hustled me hard

As rogues at a fair some fool they strip i' the midst,

When these count gains, vaunt pillage presently:—

But a Caponsacchi, oh, be very sure!

When what demands its tribute of applause

Is the cunning and impudence o' the pair of cheats,

The lies and lust o' the mother, and the brave

Bold carriage of the priest, worthily crowned
