The one offence, and anxiously wilt shun

Of eyes created were that we might see;
Or thighs and knees, aprop upon the feet,

Unto the sturdy uppers, or serving hands
On either side were given, that we might do
Life's own demands.

She whom both Pyrrhus and Libyan Mars
Found no way to tame, this proud city,
That with a courage forged in adversity,
Sustained the shock of endless wars,
Though her ship, plagued at the source
By great waves, felt the world's enmity,
None ever saw the reefs of adversity
Wreak havoc on her
fortunate
course:
But, the object of her virtue failing,
Her power opposed its own flailing,
Like the voyager whom a cruel gale
Has long since separated from the shore,
Driven now by the storm's wild roar,
And shipwrecked there, when all efforts fail.

And the broad bottoms rip the bearing brine--
All
smalling

And each significant red smoke-shaft pales,
Keen sense of severance everywhere prevails,
Which shapes the late long tramp of mounting men
