Lie far away, with all things blest and dear,

On laughing shores, to which their barks no more shall steer!

LIX.

Know’st thou the land where bloom the orange bowers?[216]

Where, through dark foliage, gleam the citron’s dyes?

Midst its Hesperian groves in sunlight rise:

They meet, in soul, the bright Italian eyes

Which long and vainly shall explore the main

For their white sails’ return: the melodies
