XXXIV

  Under Italian escort next they see

  Where the twelfth Lewis o'er the hills is gone;

  Has by its roots uptorn the mulberry,

  And in Viscontis' land the lilies sown:

  "Treading in Charles's steps, by him shall be

  Bridges athwart the Garigliano thrown.

  Yet after shall he mourn his army's slaughter,

  Dispersed and drowning in that fatal water."
