METASTASIO.
Sprezza il furor del vento.
UNBENDING midst the wintry skies,
Rears the firm oak his vigorous form,
And stern in rugged strength, defies
The rushing of the storm;
Then severed from his native shore,
O'er ocean-worlds the sail to bear,
Still with those winds he braved before,
He proudly struggles there.
