XXXI. Then where, oer two bright havens, The towers of Corinth frown ;Where the gigantic King of Day On his own Rhodes looks down ;Where soft 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 Byrsas thousand masts ;Where fur-clad hunters wander Amidst the northern ice ;Where through the sand of morning-land The camel bears the spice ; 172 LAYS OF ANCIENT ROME. Where Atlas flings his shadowFar oer the western foam, Shall be great fear on all who hearThe mighty name of IVRY: A SONG OF THE HUGUENOTS.
