Thus Argo ploughed the Euxine's virgin foam,[ff]

But those she wafted still looked back to home;230

These spurn their country with their rebel bark,

And fly her as the raven fled the Ark;

And yet they seek to nestle with the dove,

And tame their fiery spirits down to Love.

End of Canto 1st, Jn 14.
