The crackling flame fizzles!
The unyielding crowd
Runs to that fire

Happy in countenance;
Merry shouts
Echo all around;

Escorted by guards
A woman makes forth!
Sombre shines

On that terrible faces
The gloomy flame
That reaches up to the sky!

The crackling flame fizzles!
The victim arrives,
Clad in black,

Half-dressed, barefoot!
A ferocious cry
Of death rises.

The echo repeats
It all along the cliffs!
Sombre shines

On that terrible faces
The gloomy flame
That reaches up to the sky!
