Gilderoy had risen.
It was midnight. A great bell boomed and clashed over the city, with a roar of many voices floating on the wind, like the sullen1 thunder of a rising sea. Torches flashed and ebbed3 along the streets, with hundreds of scampering4 shadows, and a glinting of steel. Knots of armed men hurried towards the great piazza5, where, by the City Cross, Sforza the Gonfaloniere and his senators had gathered about the red and white Gonfalon of the Commune. All the Guild6 companies were there with their banners and men-at-arms. "Fulviac," "Saint Yeoland," "Liberty and the Commune": such were the watchwords that filled the mouths of the mob.
Cressets had burst into flame on the castle's towers, lighting7 a lurid8 firmament9; while from the steeps of the city, where stood the palaces of the nobles, smoke and flame began to rush ominously10 into the night. Waves of hoarse11 ululations seemed to sweep the city from north, south, east, and west. Trumpets12 were clanging in the castle, drums beating, fifes braying13. Through the indescribable chaos14 the great bell
