The Daughter of Dante
From Heroic Idyls (1863)
History & Politics
Thou, Beatrice, hast found an earlier rest
Than did thy father (holy as thyself)
In this Ravenna. May we hope that he
Shall view from heaven his countrymen at last
Loose from Teutonic and from Gallic chains,
And other more disgraceful forged at Rome.
