With such vain hope he sought himself to cheat, And manned some deal his spirits and awoke;
Then prest the faithful Brigliadoro's seat, As on the sun's retreat his sister broke.
Nor far the warrior had pursued his beat, Ere eddying from a roof he saw the smoke;
Heard noise of dog and kine, a farm espied, And thitherward in quest of lodging hied.
