XXVIII "With Prospero Colonna, puissant peer, A marquis of Pescara I behold; -- A youth of Guasto next, who render dear Hesperia to the flower-de-luce of gold; I see prepared to enter the career This third, who shall the laurel win and hold; As a good horse before the rest will dart, And first attain the goal, though last to start.

But then, because of one by treason spent, In him appears the joy of triumph shent." XXXIII So saying, to his guests the cavalier Alphonso, of Pescara hight, displayed: "Who in a thousand feats will shine more clear Than the resplendent carbuncle," he said.

XLIX "He in his cousin of Pescara's rear, -- Prosper Colonna, chief of that emprize -- Makes the rude Switzer pay Bicocca dear, Paid by the Frenchman in yet dearer wise.

But valour stoops at last to numbers; lo! The king is taken, is conveyed to Spain; And all upon Pescara's lord bestow And him of that inseparable twain -- Of Guasto hight -- the praise and prime renown For that great king captived and host o'erthrown.

The emperor, Hearing your worth that way, ere you attain'd This reverend garment, joins you in commission With the right fortunate soldier the Marquis of Pescara, And the famous Lannoy.
