All Rome sent forth a rapturous cry, And even the ranks of Tuscany Could scarce forbear to cheer.

Сторінка 348 - Tiber! father Tiber! To whom the Romans pray, A Roman's life, a Roman's arms, Take thou in charge this day ! ' So he spake, and speaking sheathed The good sword by his side, And with his harness on his back Plunged headlong in the tide.
