'Tis Maina's land—her ancient hills,
The abode of nymphs —her countless rills

55

And torrents, in their downward dash,
Shining, like silver, through the shade
Of the sea-pine and flowering ash—
All with a truth so fresh pourtray'd
As wants but touch of life to be
A world of warm reality.
 
------ virginibus bacchata Laconis
Taygeta.

Virg.
