150
The Divine Comedy
And falsely once 't was laid upon another;
But that thou mayst not such a sight enjoy, 140
If thou shalt e'er be out of the dark places,
Thine ears to my announcement ope and hear:
Pistoia first of Neri groweth meagre;
Then Florence doth renew her men and manners;
Mars draws a vapor up from Val di Magra, 145
Which is with turbid clouds enveloped round,
And with impetuous and bitter tempest
Over Campo Picen shall be the battle;
When it shall suddenly rend the mist asunder,
So that each Bianco shall thereby be smitten. 150
And this I've said that it may give thee pain."
