As if the broken circlet joined again,

Tightened itself about me with no break,—

As if the town would turn Arezzo's self,—

The husband there,—the friends my enemies,

All ranged against me, not an avenue

To try, but would be blocked and drive me back

On him,—this other, ... oh the heart in that!

Did not he find, bring, put into my arms

A new-born babe?—and I saw faces beam

Of the young mother proud to teach me joy,
