XLIX

  "He in his cousin of Pescara's rear,

  — Prosper Colonna, chief of that emprize —

  Makes the rude Switzer pay Bicocca dear,

  Paid by the Frenchman in yet dearer wise.

  Behold where France prepares for fresh career,

  And to repair her many losses tries

  Behold one host on Lombardy descend!

  Behold that other against Naples wend!
