Página 253 - Through school and college, thy kind cloud o'ercast, Safe and unseen, the young ^Eneas past : Thence bursting glorious, all at once let down, Stunn'd with his giddy larum half the town. Intrepid then, o'er seas and lands he flew : Europe he saw, and Europe saw him too. There all thy gifts and graces we display, Thou, only thou, directing all our way : To where the Seine, obsequious as she runs, Pours at great Bourbon's feet her silken...
