Hark you, Vincenzo; here will I dismount.

Lead on Falcone to the castle. See

He lack no provender or barley-straw

To ease his battered sides. Poor war-worn horse!

When last we galloped past this church-yard gate,

He was a colt, gamesome and hot of blood,

Bearing against the bit until my arm

Ached with his humors. Mark the old jade now—

He knows we talk about him—a mere boy

Might ride him bare-back. Give my people note
