2160Before they knew his parentage or deemed

He was descended from high Folco's race.

But, knowing that, their joys did swell so high,

That grief for sorrow slinked aside to cry.

But ere the next day's sun to let out day

Night's ebon box unlocked, she did not brook

To hear their private whispers, talk, and pray,

Erect the host, and kiss a gilded book.

For, her, Bellama has possessèd solely,

So that their water could not make her holy.
