CHAPTER IV.

WEDDED LIFE IN ITALY. MEN AND WOMEN.

This foot, once planted on the goal;
This glory-garland round my soul.

Give brighter plumage, stronger wing; the breeze
Of Alpine highths thou playest with, borne on
Beyond Sorrento and Amalfi, where
The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.
—LANDOR.
