Attending on his golden pilgrimage:

Les Amours de Cassandre: CLXXIV
Now when the sky and when the earth again
Fill with ice: cold hail scattered everywhere,
And the horror of the worst months of the year
Makes the grass bristle across the plain:
Now when the wind
mutinously
prowling,
Cracks the boulders, and uproots the trees,
When the redoubled roaring of the seas
Fills all the shoreline with its wild surging:
Love burns me, and winter's bitter cold
That freezes all, cannot freeze the old
Ardour in my heart that lasts forever.

O'er highest earth and lowest sky;

Founded a city for him, and had rais'd
A palace for himself; I would have brought

Evacuating

Ruled by myself, and neighb'ring close my own.
