"The sacred Mount, Crowned with the citadel of Latin Jove, Hangs o’er Alba’s Lake, and o’er the towers Older than Rome, their daughter. On its slopes Aricia smiles, and stately Tusculum. Beneath us Gabii, and, in shrouded sheen, Regillus, famed for Tarquin’s overthrow. Northward leans Tibur o’er her cataract,— Fortress of Sabine wars. Fidenæ there, And farther, Veii melts into the shade."
