                                             L’oste che i muri
                                        Ivi circonda;
                                        Desolò questa
                                        E quella sponda;
                                        Scevra si vanta
                                        369D’ogni pietà.
               
                                   Pubbliche preci
                                        La Chiesa intìma,
                                        Anzi agli altari
                                        Ciascun s’adìma,
                                        Indi procede
                                        375Ignudo il piè.
                                             La mescolanza
                                        Del lor dolore,
                                        Del loro grido
                                        Al Salvatore,
                                        In tutti i petti
                                        381Cresce la fè.
                                 
                                   Dopo la pompa
                                        Il capitano
                                        Ripon sull’elsa
                                        L’ardita mano,
                                        Ed ispirato
                                        387Snuda l’acciar.
