SAINT MARK. DOGE. Away then! See that they strike without delay, and with The first toll from St. Mark's, march on the palace With all our house's strength: here I will meet youThe Sixteen and their companies will move In separate columns at the self-same moment Be sure you post yourself at the great gate: I would not trust "the Ten " except to us- The rest, the rabble of patricians, may Glut the more careless swords of those leagued with us. Remember that the cry is still "Saint Mark! The Genoese are come-ho! to the rescue! Saint Mark and Liberty !"-Now-now to action! |
