Not illustrated. 1821 edition. Excerpt: ... act iii. scene I. Scene, the Space between the Canal and the Church of San Giovanni e San Paolo. Jin equestrian Statue before it.--A Gondola lies in the Canal at some distance. Enter the Doge alone, disguised. Doge (solus.) I am before the hour, the hour whose voice, Pealing into the arch of night, might strike These palaces with ominous tottering, And rock their marbles to the corner stone, Waking the sleepers from some hideous dream Of indistinct but awful augury Of that which will befall them. Yes, proud city! Thou must be cleansed of the black blooc1 which makes thee A lazar-house of tyranny: the task Is forced upon me, I have sought it not; And therefore was I punish'd, seeing this Patrician pestilence spread on and on, Until at length it smote me in my slumbers, And I am tainted, and must wash away The plague-spots in the healing wave.

I call them up, and them and thee to witness What it hath been which put me to this task--Their pure high blood, their blazon-roll of glories, Their mighty name dishonour'd all in me, Not by me, but by the ungrateful nobles We fought to make our equals, not our...
