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 strong pretentions both

The husband, honours home would not allow:

Oh, as this pensive moonlight blurs my pines,
Here while I sit and meditate these lines,
To gray-green dreams of what they are by day,
So would some light, not reason's sharp-edged ray, 220
Trance me in moonshine as before the flight
Of years had won me this

right
To see things as they are, or shall he soon,
In the frank prose of undissembling noon!

Who served the wine, with due attention
Lent patient ear to each invention,
And pressed her hands against her side
Her bursting
merriment
to hide.
