Seite 216 - O'er all the enchanted regions there, How beauteous must have been the glow, The life, the sparkling from below Fair gardens, shining streams, with ranks Of golden melons on their banks, More golden where the sunlight falls ; — Gay lizards...
Seite 482 - Simple, erect, severe, austere, sublime — Shrine of all saints and temple of all gods, From Jove to Jesus — spared and blest by time; Looking tranquillity, while falls or nods Arch, empire, each thing round thee, and man plods His way through thorns to ashes — glorious dome ! Shalt thou not last? Time's scythe and tyrants' rods Shiver upon thee — sanctuary and home Of art and piety — Pantheon ! — pride of Rome ! CXLVII.
