vi.
My yucca, which no winter quells,
Altho’ the months have scarce begun,
Has push’d toward our faintest sun
A spike of half-accomplish’d bells—

The warrior of Caprera set,1
A name that earth will not forget
Till earth has roll’d her latest year—

On broader zones beyond the foam,
But chaining fancy now at home
Among the quarried downs of Wight,
