POETTCAT..

In an article entitled The Songs Of Italy" in
r,,zer's Magazine, we find a translation Of Pc.
,,,rb's sonnet to tho Fountain of Vaucluse, so
b. ,uu that we cannot refrain from extracting il.
Visions Of love ye dwell
In memory still 0shrined-
Here, as she once reclincd,
shower Of blossoms on her bosom fell
And while tn enamoured tree,
From all ito branches, thus
Raned odorferous,
She sat, unconscious, all humility.
Mkt with her golden hair, those blossoms sweet
Like pearls on amber seemed
Some their allegiance deemed
Due TO her flowing robe and lovely feet;
Others, disporting, took
Their course adown the brook
Others aloft waited in airy sport,
Seemed to proclaim, To-day Love holds his
merry COURT"
