Página 116 - Whisper'd him sacred laws, he list'ning sat, Rapt with her virtuous voice, old Tyber lean'd Attentive on his urn, and hush'd his waves. Rich in her weeping country's spoils, Versailles May boast a thousand fountains, that can cast The tortur'd waters to the distant heav'ns; Yet let me choose some pine-topt precipice Abrupt and shaggy, whence a foamy stream, Like Anio, tumbling roars...
Página 118 - Listening to dashing waves, and sea-mews clang High-hovering o'er his head, who views beneath The dolphin dancing o'er the level brine, Feels more true bliss than the proud admiral, Amid his vessels bright with burnish'd gold And silken streamers, tho' his lordly nod Ten thousand war-worn mariners revere.
