Led by the seeming saints unto the place
810Where sate Pazzella with a matron grace.
If Rivelezzo's presence frighted them,
Much more they at Bellama were amaz'd;
They called her Phoenix, beauty's only gem,
And all with fixèd tapers on her gazed:
Some had a mean, some curious were before,
But her first sight showed self-conceit the door.
For as when Tithon's bride breaks out afar,
And through th' expanse spreads forth her youngest light,
