When Count Confalioneri was condemned To death, because he, an Italian born, Moved and seduced by Satan, wickedly Preferred his own fair land to Austria, And had conspired against the Double Eagle, His wife, on wings of love, fled to Vienna ; And though 'twas midnight, through gates, guards, and doors She burst, until she stood before the Empress, Who was a woman though she ware a crown ; And in an agony of grief that melted The hardest into pity, she besought Her husband's life ; — she asked n...ot for aught else. The Empress begged the Emperor, who gave The thing, as though 'twere but a fly's poor life. 'Twas all the world to her — to him a word. But being a pleasant man, he thought it right To tell her that the hangman had set out For Milan, that fair city of dead men, And ghosts who've passed away from rack and axe. So the Contessa hurried night and day, And day and night, and never slept, nor tasted Food or sweet sleep, but still upon a pillow Rested her throbbing temples, and with tears Moistened its silky texture, till 'twas wet As though 'twere bathed in some hot running stream.
