LIII

  "The monarch well defends him from the foe,

  All over bathed with blood of hostile vein.

  But valour stoops at last to numbers; lo!

  The king is taken, is conveyed to Spain;

  And all upon Pescara's lord bestow

  And him of that inseparable twain —

  Of Guasto hight — the praise and prime renown

  For that great king captived and host o'erthrown.
