To put up prayers there earnestly for me
That I may purge the sins that weigh me down.
There I was born; but those deep wounds of mine
Through which my life-blood issued, I received
Among the children of Antenor's line,[135]
Where most secure my person I believed:
'Twas through that lord of Este I was sped
Who past all justice had me in his hate.
O'ertook at Oriaco, had I fled
Towards Mira, still where breath is I might wait.
