96. Of Venice, Translated out of Sannazarius. Englished.
In Adriatick Waters Neptune sawVenice, that layes on the whole Sea a Law:
Object Tarpejan Towers, Jove, whil'st thou wilt,
He said, and walls by thy Mars Off-spring built,
Prefer'st thou Tyber! view both towns, and th'ods,
And thou wilt yield men that made, this the Gods.
