Mankind triumph of a sudden?
Up Rome again? The proud conception chilled
So soon? Ay, watch that latest dream of thine—A
Rome indebted to no Palatine—
Drop arch by arch, Sordello! Art possessed
Of thy wish now, rewarded for thy quest
To-day among Ferrara's squalid sons?
Are this and this and this the shining ones
Meet for the Shining City? Sooth to say,
Your favored tenantry pursue their way
