So the two brothers and their murder’d man + 

Rode past fair Florence, to where Arno’s stream + 

Gurgles through straighten’d banks, and still doth fan + 

Itself with dancing bulrush, and the bream + 

Keeps head against the freshets. Sick and wan + 

The brothers’ faces in the ford did seem, + 

Lorenzo’s flush with love.⁠—They pass’d the water + 

Into a forest quiet for the slaughter. + 
