    accepta aqua, lavit manus coram turba dicens:
    “ Innocens ego sum a sanguine hoc; vos videritis! ”.
    —-

    ” Di voi pastor s’accorse il Vangelista,
    quando colei che siede sopra l’acque
    puttaneggiar coi regi a lui fu vista;

    quella che con le sette teste nacque,
    e da le diece corna ebbe argomento,
    fin che virtute al suo marito piacque.

    Fatto v’avete Dio d’oro e d’argento;
    e che altro è da voi a l’idolatre,
    se non ch’elli uno, e voi ne orate cento?”
