To find no grace with her my soul holds dear:
I'd nothing left; and when I saw the bird,
To kill it
instantly

Those naught we grudge nor spare to entertain,
Who o'er our feeling bosoms sov'reign reign:
All I can do is speedily to get,
Another falcon: easily they're met;
And by to-morrow I'll the bird procure.

Of Rome's great Julian line;

And through all turns of weal and woe

As we gaze from afar on the waves roar
Mountains of water now set in motion,
A
thousand
breakers of cliff-jarring ocean,
Striking the reef, driven in the wind's maw:
View now a fierce northerly, with emotion,
Stirring the storm to its loud-whistling core,
Then folding in air its vaster wing once more
Suddenly weary, as if at some new notion:
As we see a flame, spread in a hundred places,
Gather, in one flare, towards heaven's spaces,
Then powerless fade and die: so, in its day,
This Empire passed, and overwhelming all
Like wave, or wind, or flame, along its way,
Halted at last by Fate, sank here, in fall.

Thy hand-maids, clad them o're with purple beams 10
