Some bright Idea of the master's mind, 485
Where a new world leaps out at his command,
And ready Nature waits upon his hand;
When the ripe colours soften and unite,
And sweetly melt into just shade and light;
When mellowing years their full

And each bold figure just begins to live,
The treach'rous colours the fair art betray,
And all the bright creation fades away!

So richly was this fertile race imbued
With virtuous nephews, its posterity
Surpassed the past, in brave authority,
Measured deep earth and heaven's altitude:
So that, holding all power in its hand,
No end to empire would Rome understand:
And though Republics Time might consume,
Time could not so
diminish
Roman pride,
That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

As long ago when they would take the light
And leave the little child who would have prayed,
Frozen and sleepless at the thought of death.

Her bodice bright is set with Genoa lace;
O'er her rich robe, through every satin fold,
Wanders an

in threads of gold.
