THE HARP OF CANAAN. 117 And where those sumptuous summer-homes, those bowers of kingly pride, That rose amid the " palm-tree shade, " far in the desert wide ? Where that gigantic structure, the temple of the sun ? Is thy day of beauty too gone by, thy race of glory run ? Imperial] " Mistress of the World, " where are thy triumphs^now ? For dark, and dim, and lustreless, are the jewels on thy brow ; The proud stream at thy feet rolls on, as it was wont of old, And bears within its azure depths w...hat time may not unfold. The seven hills thy ancient throne, the hand of time defy, But now the marble coronets in broken fragments lie. The stately arch, the pillar' d dome, the palace and the hall, No more behold in banner' d pride, the gorgeous festival. Thy Caesars, and thy citizens, the emperor, and slave. Alike rest in the silent tomb, or in the silent grave ; Even there thy noble ladies, in deeds of virtue bold. And there is Messalina now, in her robe of woven gold. And thou, beloved Jerusalem, tho' desolate thou art.
