I'm ruined in the strife! " O Greece! Of arts, idolatry, the land, Of my insensate vows the country grand, Born was I for the flowers upon thy front, Which crowned the waves of azure Hellespont, A citizen of thy antiquity, And by the walls my soul flits like the bee. O Greece, thy people's tongues may wholly die; We may forget the name of mountain high, Ransack the bosom of thy yellow fields, And all at once may find the gift it yields IDLE YEARNINGS 245 Some woodland god, or yet some Venus los...t. The words that came from Phidias' heart alone Will always living be, and ever known; The marbles learned and thy will ne'er forget. Where are, old Italy, so tranquil set, The days when Rome within her courts could please To guard the arts, those gods the sons of ease? When painters oft to all the cities went, On building palaces and altars bent, Triumphant, honored, gods among all men; When all they did engendered marvels; when Rome fought with Venice and against Lom- bards Then was a time of blessing for the arts.
