Fitque quod haud fuerat, momentaque cuncta novantur.

Time compared to a River.

Time glides along with constant motion
Just like a river to the ocean.

For neither may the waters stay,
Nor the wing'd hour its flight delay.
But wave by wave is urged along,
Down hurrying in tumultuous throng;
This one by that behind it sped,
Itself impelling those ahead-
So time pursues and is pursued,
And every instant is renewed.
What was the future is the past,
And hours unborn are born at last:
And as they're distanced in the race,
Others succeed to take their place. -Ed.

Onde assai piu ti paventasse, o assai
Tamasse men chi dal tuo bello a' rai
Par che si strugga, e pur ti sfida a morte.

Italy.

Italia! oh Italia! Thou who hast

The fatal gift of beauty, which became
A funeral dower of present woes and past,
On thy sweet brow is sorrow ploughed by shame,
And annais graved in characters of flame.
Oh God! That thou wert in thy nakedness
Less lovely or more powerful, and couldst claim
Thy right, and awe the robbers back who press

To shed thy blood, and drink the tears of thy distress.
Lord Byron, Ch. Harold, 4, 42.
