``Blest and thrice blest the Roman Who sees Rome's brightest day, Who sees that long victorious pomp Wind down the Sacred Way, And through the bellowing Forum, And round the Suppliant's Grove, Up to the everlasting gates Of Capitolian Jove. XXXI

    ``Then where, o'er two bright havens, The towers of Corinth frown； Where the gigantic King of Day On his own Rhodes looks down； Where oft Orontes murmurs Beneath the laurel shades； Where Nile reflects the endless length Of dark red colonnades；

    Where in the still deep water, Sheltered from waves and blasts, Bristles the dusky forest Of Byrsa's thousand masts； Where fur-clad hunters wander Amidst the northern ice； Where through the sand of morning-land The camel bears the spice； Where Atlas flings his shadow Far o'er the western foam, Shall be great fear on all who hear The might name of Rome.''
