150 And falsely once 't was laid upon another;

But that thou mayst not such a sight enjoy,

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,

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.

And this I've said that it may give thee pain."
