FOUR FOUNTAINS AFTERRESPIGHI

FRESH mists of Roman dawn； For water search the cattle； Faintlv on damp air sounds the shepherd's horn Above fountain Giulia's prattle¹.

Triton, joyous² and loud Of Naiads summons troops； A frenziedly leaping and mingling³ crowd, Dancing, pursuing groups.

At high noon the trumpets⁴ peal⁵, Neptune's chariot passes by； Trains of sirens, tritons, Trevi's jets heat Then trumpets' echoes sigh.

Tolling⁶ bell and sunset, Twittering birds and calm； Medici's fountain, shimmering⁷ net, Into the night brings balm.
