Seite 119 - ... half Venice in that verse of thine, — What though it just reflect the shade and shine Of common life, nor render, as it rolls, Grandeur and gloom ? Sufficient for thy shoals Was Carnival : Parini's depths enshrine Secrets unsuited to that opaline Surface of things which laughs along thy scrolls. There throng the people : how they come and go, Lisp the soft language, flaunt the bright garb, — see, — On Piazza, Calle, under Portico And over Bridge ! Dear king of Comedy, Be honoured ! Thou...
