The Old Bridge at Florence Annotated

Taddeo Gaddi built me. I am old,
&nbsp Five centuries old. I plant my foot of stone
&nbsp Upon the Arno, as St. Michael's own
&nbsp Was planted on the dragon. Fold by fold
Beneath me as it struggles. I behold
&nbsp Its glistening scales. Twice hath it overthrown
&nbsp My kindred and companions. Me alone
&nbsp It moveth not, but is by me controlled,
I can remember when the Medici
&nbsp Were driven from Florence; longer still ago
&nbsp The final wars of Ghibelline and Guelf.
Florence adorns me with her jewelry;
&nbsp And when I think that Michael Angelo
&nbsp Hath leaned on me, I glory in myself.
