Translated by STRONG.


I ask’d of Time, to whom arose this high

Majestic pile, here mouldering in decay?

He answered not, but swifter sped his way

With ceaseless pinions winnowing the sky.

To Fame I turn’d: “Speak thou, whose sons defy

The waste of years, and deathless works essay.”

She heaved a sigh, as one to grief a prey
