6. oldal - Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel and lower the proud ; Turn thy wild wheel thro' sunshine, storm, and cloud ; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. 'Turn, Fortune, turn thy wheel with smile or frown ; With that wild wheel we go not up or down ; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. ' Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands ; Frown and we smile, the lords...

Time ruins all. O'er shattered tower and shrine we muse. Bright Akragas lies shadow-like, while Syracuse Sleeps 'neath the azure shroud of her indulgent sky. Alone the metal, which love's skill could glorify, Has kept, in full perfection on a coin displayed, The deathless beauty of a pure Sicilian...
14. oldal - TROPHEKS by JM de Heredia.) ETNA matures e'en now the golden purple wine, Of which, in days long gone, Theocritus drank deep ; Yet vainly would the poet now his vigil keep For those of whom his verses sang the grace divine. Fair Arethusa, by quick turns an honored bride Or slave despised and spurned, losing her clear-cut face, Finds mingled in her veins, of Greek blood scarce a trace, But Saracenic fire, with lordly Angevin pride. Time ruins all. O'er shattered tower and shrine we muse. Bright Akragas...
