Good people, only send to find the Friar,—

Find him, for pity’s sake! He will confirm

All I have said, and prove my truth and his,

And save my dear Love, slain for love of me.”

Then a great cry arose, some this way ran,

Some that, and suddenly amid the press

A cowl was seen, and Fra Domenico,

Breathless with haste, just conscious of our need,

Ran in the midst, and then, I know not what,—

For all was tumult,—but my love stood free!
