n verses wild with motion, full of din,Loudened by cries, by clashes, quick and sureAs the deadly thought of men accomplishingTheir curious fates in war, come, celebrateThe faith of forty, ward of Cupido. Most venerable heart, the lustiest conceitIs not too lusty for your broadening. I quiz all sounds, all thoughts, all everythingFor the music and manner of the paladinsTo make oblation fit. Where shall I findBravura adequate to this great hymn? X
