Seen, a pictorial portent, under,

O great Rialto, the vast round

Of thy thrice-solid arch profound!

(How light we go, how softly! Ah,

Life should be as the gondola!)

How light we go, how softly——

Sp. Nay;

Fore heaven, enough of that to-day:

I’m deadly weary of your tune,

And half-ennuyé with the moon;
