Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”

Though inland far we be,
Our Souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither,”

Four thousand leagues from the ninth buried city
I thought of Troy, what we had built her for.”
