Pearls of love and of beauty.
Slumber you the still night through,
Cradled in the briny waters;
For you are sisters, both of you,
Of the ocean-foam were daughters.
IN GEORGE SAND’S ‘THE USCOQUE.’
Fayre Venice, flower of the last world’s delight.
EDW. SPENCER.
Faire Venice, like a spouse in Neptune’s armes.
JOHN HARRINGTON.
