To such a one this morn was led,

My bark by soft winds piloted:

’Mid the mountains Euganean

I stood listening to the pæan,

With which the legioned rooks did hail

The sun’s uprise majestical;

Gathering round with wings all hoar,

Through the dewy mist they soar

Like grey shades, till the eastern heaven

Bursts, and then, as clouds of even,
