"Composto è lor d'intorno il rogo omai, e già le fiamme il mantice v'incita, quand'il fanciullo in dolorosi lai proruppe, e disse a lei ch'è seco unita: "Quest'è dunque quel laccio ond'io sperai teco accoppiarmi in compagnia di vita? questo è quel foco ch'io credea ch'i cori ne dovesse infiammar d'eguali ardori?

The sacred armies, and the godly knight,
That the great sepulchre of Christ did free,
I sing; much wrought his valor and foresight,
And in that glorious war much suffered he;
In vain 'gainst him did Hell oppose her might,
In vain the Turks and Morians armed be:
His soldiers wild, to brawls and mutinies prest,
Reduced he to peace, so Heaven him blest.
