_90 7. Then Rome was, and from thy deep bosom fairest, Like a wolf-cub from a Cadmaean Maenad, She drew the milk of greatness, though thy dearestFrom that Elysian food was yet unweaned;And many a deed of terrible uprightness _95By thy sweet love was sanctified;And in thy smile, and by thy side, Saintly Camillus lived, and firm Atilius died. But when tears stained thy robe of vestal-whiteness, And gold profaned thy Capitolian throne, _100Thou didst desert, with spirit-winged lightness, The senat...e of the tyrants: they sunk proneSlaves of one tyrant: Palatinus sighedFaint echoes of Ionian song; that toneThou didst delay to hear, lamenting to disown _105 8. From what Hyrcanian glen or frozen hill, Or piny promontory of the Arctic main, Or utmost islet inaccessible, Didst thou lament the ruin of thy reign, Teaching the woods and waves, and desert rocks, _110And every Naiad's ice-cold urn, To talk in echoes sad and sternOf that sublimest lore which man had dared unlearn?For neither didst thou watch the wizard flocksOf the Scald's dreams, nor haunt the Druid's sleep.
