"Lo! other French who his grandsire's vein

  Inherits, not his generous name alone!

  Who by the Church's favour will regain

  — The Gaul expelled — a land which was his own.

  France too returns, but keeps a tighter rein,

  Nor over Italy, as wont, has flown:

  For Mantua's noble duke the foe shall stay,

  And, at Ticino's passage, bar his way.
