Who would demonstrate Rome's true grandeur,
In all her vast dimensions, all her might,
Her length and breadth, and all her depth and height
Needs no line or lead, compass or measure:
He only need draw a circle, at his leisure,
Round all that Ocean in his arms holds tight,
Be it where Sirius scorches with his light,
Or where the
northerlies
blow cold forever.

He stood before the tumbling main
With joy too tense for sober brain;
He shared the life of the element,
The tie of blood and home was rent:
As if in him the welkin walked,
The winds took flesh, the
mountains
talked,
And he the bard, a crystal soul
Sphered and concentric with the whole.

Outshines our fairy-land; in shape and hues
More beautiful than our

Here, where the ancients paid thee homage long--
Thou, who didst call the Furies from the abyss,
And round Orestes bade them howl and hiss
For that
unnatural
retribution--just,
Had it but been from hands less near--in this
Thy former realm, I call thee from the dust!

How swiftly pass the life and youth of man:

Indulge thy soul, and taste the

Demosthenes - Against Midias |
|

The Thracian Orpheus of the golden lyre;
Whom mighty Jove, the Sovereign of the skies,
Removed from earth by his dread lightning's fire.
