A. Those who wish more, and on a nobler scale, / Should turn and
read the great Italian poet / Dante by name
B. When Fortune would elect/ To trick a man, she plots his
overthrow / By such a means as he would least expect.
C. He swore to sin no more, until the hour/Of death when at the last
he was interred, / He recognized God's mercy and his power.

he fled away
