Italia

　　Italia！ thou art fallen， though with sheen

　　Of battle-spears thy clamorous¹ armies stride

　　From the north Alps to the Sicilian tide！

　　Ay！ fallen， though the nations hail thee Queen

　　Because rich gold in every town is seen，

　　And on thy sapphire-lake in tossing pride

　　Of wind-filled vans thy myriad² galleys³ ride

　　Beneath one flag of red and white and green.

　　O Fair and Strong！ O Strong and Fair in vain！

　　Look southward where Rome's desecrated⁴ town

　　Lies mourning for her God-anointed King！

　　Look heaven-ward！ shall God allow this thing？

　　Nay⁵！ but some flame-girt Raphael shall come down，

　　And smite⁶ the Spoiler with the sword of pain.

　　VENICE.
