41. ON THE QUEEN CHRISTINA'S ENTRANCE INTO OTRICOLI; DECEMBER 18, 1654.

FROM THE ITALIAN OF DIANA SAMPIERI.

The musquetry, that makes our ramparts quail,
Gives welcome to thy faultless steps, O Queen!
That come with truth from out those mountains pale,
Where the grim wolf amid' the rocks is seen:
The moony wolf, that with especial love
Doth utter his observant voice by night,
Whilst the huge bear upon the ice doth move,
And roar unto the mainland with delight;
Vast monsters, that make pale the lunar beam,
And quail the air with their concurrent woe,
Still flying from Aurora's early gleam,
That only Night and shady horrour know:
From those great scenes of Winter and dismay,
We bid you welcome to our softer day!
