OLD RHYMING VERSE ON THE HOUSE OF RIENZI.

"First of the foremost, Nicolas, great from a low estate,

Raised (_this_) to revive the glory of his fathers.

There is placed the name of his father and mother, Crescentius

and Theodora.

This renowned roof, bore from (_a_) dear pledge:

The father who displayed it assigned it to David."
