We were firing on San Marco at a slow rate from six a.m. for an hour, then "vivace" from seven till noon, and at noon we lifted and continued vivace.

Mentre egli il suon de' sacri detti sciolse, Colei di gioia trasmutossi, e rise: E in atto di morir lieto e vivace, Dir parea; S'apre il cielo; io vado in pace.
