Pàgina 29 - Where fairer Tempes bloom, there sleep Young Cyclads on a sunnier deep. A loftier Argo cleaves the main, Fraught with a later prize; Another Orpheus sings again, And loves, and weeps, and dies; A new Ulysses leaves once more Calypso for his native shore.
Pàgina 26 - Who as they sung, would take the prisoned soul, And lap it in Elysium; Scylla wept, And chid her barking waves into attention, And fell Charybdis murmured soft applause.
