Dost thou not hear from the green pastures where sleeps Bianore

the sound of Virgilius' voice?

O Lalage, turn and adore! From yonder tower of the Scaligers

looks out a face stern and grand.

“Suso in Italia bella,” smiling he murmurs, and looks

at the water, the earth, and the sky.

Odi Barbare.

XVII TO A HORSE

Hail to thee, valiant steed! To thee the palm,

To thee its wild applause the ring is raising.
