The champion of his own Almain,

Shall Barbarossa come again.

CHAPTER IX
IN HISTORIC CILICIA CAMPESTRIS

Domes, minarets, their spiry heads that rear,

Mocking with gaudy hues the ruins near;

Dim crumbling colonnades and marble walls,

Rich columns, broken statutes, roofless halls;

Beauty, deformity, together thrown,

A maze of ruins, date, design unknown—

Such is the scene, the conquest Time hath won.
