Lorenzo dei Medici

Yet were it well a while to wait,
This stubborn monk perchance may be,
Once snapped those links of wrath and hate
Which hold him from my amity,
A worthy instrument to me.

And this shall be, for am not I
Lorenzo, the Magnificent!
Of whom all men shall testify
'The greatest and the wisest bent
Beneath his will obedient.'
