54 A porta tinha urna fresta; Tirou o chapim do pei, Atirou-lh’o para dentro, Disse-lhe : ‘ Vede e sabei.’ Do mais que alli succedeu Para que vos contarei ? O conde soube a verdade E o rei soube—ser rei. Verdes parras tem a vinha, Riccas uvas la deixei: Quem m’a guardou foi o medo. . . De Dues e da sua lei. A fracture was there in the portal The slipper from my foot it tore— Need’st thou proof? behold it here— —Its fellow from within he bore. Of the joy that followed after Little need I more impart, Glad the Count the truth admitted, And the King play’d the kingly part. “ Fresh green leaves hath the vineyard Richest grapes were those I saw;— It was fear that kept them safely, Fear of God and of his law.”
