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...

Time ruins all. O'er shattered tower and shrine we muse. Bright Akragas...
