s superfluous waves, that they may fling At Anions feet tribute of corn and wine.Then, through the pestilential deserts wild Of tangled marsh and woods of stunted pine,It rushes to the Ocean. ( 253 ) WITH SHELLEY IN ITALY FRAGMENT EVENING: PONTE AL MARE, PISA.

A brighter Hellas rears its mountains From waves serener far;A new Peneus rolls his fountains Against the morning star.Where fairer Tempes bloom, there sleepYoung Cyclads on a sunnier-deep. A loftier Argo cleaves the main. Fraught with a later prize;Another Orpheus sings again. And loves, and weeps, and dies.A new Ulysses leaves once moreCalypso for his native shore.( 255 ) WITH SHELLEY IN ITALY Oh, write no more the tale of Troy,If earth Deat
