Yon snow-white torrent-fall, plumb down it drops 10

Yet ever hangs or seems to hang in air,

Lulling the leisure of that high perched town,

Aquapendente, in her lofty site

Its neighbour and its namesake—town, and flood

Forth flashing out of its own gloomy chasm 15

Bright sunbeams—the fresh verdure of this lawn

Strewn with grey rocks, and on the horizon’s verge,

O’er intervenient waste, through glimmering haze,

Unquestionably kenned, that cone-shaped hill
