In water, there will be produced a snake;

Spontaneous product of the horse, which horse

Happens to be the representative—

Now that I think on 't—of Arezzo's self,

The very city our conception blessed:

Is not a prancing horse the City-arms?

What sane eye fails to see coincidence?

Cur ego, boast thou, my Pompilia, then,

Desperem fieri sine conjuge

Mater—How well the Ovidian distich suits!—
