"But his new kingdom leaving to his band,

  Far other destiny awaits that throng:

  For, with the Mantuan's friendly succour manned,

  Gonsalvo to the war returns so strong,

  He leaves not in few months, by sea or land,

  One living head, his slaughtered troops among.

  But then, because of one by treason spent,

  In him appears the joy of triumph shent."
