dome�察  �o'er Adria's   foam�察          �O'er   purple Apennine�察  �From   where   with 

flutes and dances            Their ancient mansion rings�察�In lordly Laced�mon�察�

And rows of vines�察�and fields of wheat�察                �And apple´orchards green�察�

The swine crush the big acorns                That fall from Corne's oaks。 Upon 

the turf by the Fair Fount             The reaper's pottage smokes。 The fisher 

baits   his   angle�察       �The   hunter   twangs   his   bow�察  �Little   they   think   on 

those strong limbs            That moulder deep below。 Little they think how 

sternly          That day the trumpets pealed�察�How in the slippery swamp of 

blood          Warrior and war´horse reeled�察�How wolves came with fierce 

gallops�察         �And   crows   on   eager   wings�察�To tear the   flesh of   captains�察�

And peck the eyes of kings�察�How thick the dead lay scattered                    Under 

the Porcian height�察�How through the gates of Tusculum                      Raved the

thou with heed on the dark rock               That girds the dark lake round。 So 

shalt thou see a hoof´mark               Stamped deep into the flint�此�It was not 

hoof of mortal steed            That made so strange a dint�此�There to the Great 

Twin Brethren             Vow thou thy vows�察�and pray That they�察�in tempest
