The Sonnets Of Tommaso Campanella - To Venice.

Topics: classic

Nuova arca di No.     New Ark of Noah! when the cruel scourge             Of that barbarian tyrant like a wave             Went over Italy, thou then didst save             The seed of just men on the weltering surge.     Here, still by discord and foul servitude             Untainted, thou a hero brood dost raise,             Powerful and prudent. Due to thee their praise             Of maiden pure, of teeming motherhood!     Thou wonder of the world, Rome's loyal heir,             Thou pride and strong support of Italy,             Dial of princes, school of all things wise!     Thou like Arcturus steadfast in the skies,             With tardy sense guidest thy kingdom fair,             Bearing alone the load of liberty.
