Excerpt from Francesca of Rimini: A Poem
I. A western shore and marshy plain between, Girt by a crumbling wall, a city stands, Alone. Men say there was none other seen So joyous or so fair, in all those lands, When decked as for a bride by royal hands, Her excellence was as some jewel rare.

Excerpt from Francesca of Rimini: A Poem
Francesca of Rimini.
I.
A Western shore and marshy plain between,
Girt by crumbling wall, a city stands
Alone. Men say there was none other seen
So joyous or so fair, in all those lands,
When decked as for a bride by royal hands,
Her excellence was as some jewel rare,
That many crown had coveted to wear.
