CHAPTER 1.X.
Che difesa miglior ch' usbergo e scudo, E la santa innocenza al petto ignudo! "Ger.

Lib.," c.viii.

xli.

That famous Steiner--primeval Titan of the great Tyrolese race--often hast thou sought to scale the heavens, and therefore must thou, like the meaner children of men, descend to the dismal Hades! Harder fate for thee than thy mortal master.

For THY soul sleeps with thee in the coffin.
