Página 86 - And up through the rifts Of the mountain clifts They passed to their Dorian home. And now from their fountains In Enna's mountains, Down one vale where the morning basks, Like friends once parted Grown single-hearted, They ply their watery tasks.
Página 43 - Peloro, sopra il golfo Che riceve da Euro maggior briga, Non per Tifeo, ma per nascente solfo, Attesi avrebbe li suoi regi ancora, Nati per me di Carlo e di Ridolfo, Se mala signoria, che sempre accora Li popoli suggetti, non avesse Mosso Palermo a gridar : Mora, mora.
Página 50 - Helenus, quum multa horrenda moneret, Hos mihi praedixit luctus, non dira Celaeno. Hic labor extremus, longarum haec meta viarum. Hinc me digressum vestris deus appulit oris.

Página 69 - Next we began to sail up the narrow strait lamenting. For on the one hand lay Scylla, and on the other mighty Charybdis in terrible wise sucked down the salt sea water.

Página 12 - Io son colui che tenni ambo le chiavi del cor di Federigo, e che le volsi, serrando e diserrando, sì soavi, che dal secreto suo quasi ogn'uom tolsi. Fede portai al glorioso offizio, tanto ch'i' ne perde' li sonni e
Página 70 - Say, hast thou tracked a traveller's round Nor visions met thee there, Thou couldst but marvel to have found This blighted world so fair ? And feel an awe within thee rise, That sinful man should see Glories far worthier Seraph's eyes Than to be shared by thee ? Store them in heart I thou shalt not faint 'Mid coming pains and fears, As the third heaven once nerved a Saint For fourteen trial -years.
Página 86 - And now from their fountains In Enna's mountains, • Down one vale where the morning basks, Like friends once parted Grown single-hearted, They ply their watery tasks. At sunrise they leap From their cradles steep In the cave of the shelving hill ; At noon-tide they flow Through the woods below And the meadows of Asphodel ; And at night they sleep In the rocking deep Beneath the Ortygian shore ; — Like spirits that lie In the azure sky When they love but live no more.
Página 95 - Syracusanas omnes audistis, plerique nostis. opus est ingens, magnificum, regum ac tyrannorum; totum est e saxo in mirandam altitudinem depresso et multorum operis penitus exciso; nihil tam clausum ad exitum. nihil tam saeptum undique., nihil tam tutum ad custodiam nec fieri nec cogitari potest.
