"Return, Alpheus, the dread voice is pastThat shrunk thy streams; return, Sicilian Muse!"

"it will neverPass into nothingness, but still will keepA bower of quiet for us, and a sleepFull of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing."

"the seed of gods,Men near to Zeus; for whom on Ida burns,High in clear air, the altar of their sire,Nor hath their race yet lost the blood divine."

"While this city's name on earth shall be for earth her mightiest name."
