The night o' the murder, in brief minute snatched

Behind the back of Guido as he fled,—

That, since he had not kept his promise, paid

The money for the murder on the spot,

So, reaching home again, might please ignore

The pact or pay them in improper coin,—

They one and all resolved, these hopeful friends,

'T were best inaugurate the morrow's light,

Nature recruited with her due repose,

By killing Guido as he lay asleep
