Meanwhile he launched another from his stand,
That a new foe might by the weapon bleed,
Whom (while he made of this and that demand,
And loudly questioned who had done the deed)
The arrow reached--transfixed the wretch's throat
And cut his question short in middle note.
Zerbino, captain of those horse, no more
Can at the piteous sight his wrath refrain;
In furious heat he springs, upon Medore,
Exclaiming, "Thou of this shalt bear the pain."
