MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
CORINNE AT THE CAPITOL.
Les femmes doivent penser qu'il est dans cette carrière bien peu de sorte qui puissent valoir la plus obscure vie d'une femme aimée et d'une mère heureuse.
Madame de Stael.
Daughter of th' Italian heaven!
Thou, to whom its fires are given,
Joyously thy car hath roll'd
Where the conqueror's pass'd of old;
And the festal sun that shone,
O'er three*[1] hundred triumphs gone,
Makes thy day of glory bright,
With a shower of golden light.
- ↑ * The trebly hundred triumphs.—Byron.
