“The radiant aqueducts

Turn their innumerable arches o’er

The spacious desert, brightening in the sun,

Proud and more proud in the august approach:

High oe’r irriguous vales, and woods, and towns,

Glide the soft whispering waters in the wind,

And here united pour their silver streams,

Among the figured rocks, in murmuring falls,
