Old Salinguerra in the town once more

Uprooting, overturning, flame before,

Blood fetlock-high beneath him. Azzo fled;

Who 'scaped the carnage followed; then the dead

Were pushed aside from Salinguerra's throne,

He ruled once more Ferrara, all alone,

Till Azzo, stunned awhile, revived, would pounce

Coupled with Boniface, like lynx and ounce,

On the gorged bird. The burghers ground their teeth

To see troop after troop encamp beneath
