Now, I won’t tell you to go searching with a sail,

Or send you tramping down some dusty trail.

Perseus got his Andromeda from darkest Ind,

And Paris went to Greece before he sinned,

But Rome will yield so many pretty girls each day

55

That “Here is all the world” is what you’ll say.

Like full Methymnian vines; like massed Gargarian sheaves;

Like teeming fish; like birds amidst the leaves,

Or stars their skies? Far more, the girls who haunt this Rome

The Mother of Aeneas calls her home.
