The charm and sweetness of his magic verse
Will mock the envious years for centuries!
Since youth, on hearing them, for glory burns,
The wordless sorrow comfort in them sees,
And careless joy to wistful musing turns.

Under the towers of your seminary,

Without believing a word.
Tie the white fillets then about your hair
