Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams, the blue Mediterranean, where he lay, lulled by the coil 

of his crystalline streams.  Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay, 

And saw in sleep old palaces and towers 

Quivering within the waves intenser day,  All overgrown with azure moss and flowers, 

So sweet, the sense faints picturing them!                             P.B.S.
