Fair structures, rainbow-hued, arose;

And rich pavilions through the opening woods

Gleamed from their waving curtains sunny gold;

And winding through the verdant vale,

And fluted cypresses reared up

Their living obelisks,

And broad-leaved plane trees in long colonnades,

O’er arched delightful walks,

Where round their trunks the thousand-tendril’d vine
