Now wandering ’mid the ruined towers,

Fall’n palaces, and wasted bowers

Of those, at length for traitors known,

And by my justice overthrown—

Singing a plaintive dirge for them

Whom my just vengeance did condemn;

Till ever, as I learn, around

Thy steps a listening crowd is found,

Who still unto thy sad lament

Do with their sobs and tears consent;
