SANAZARI HEXASTICON. <br /> <br />Viderat Adriacis quondam Neptunus in undis <br /> Stare urbem et toto ponere Jura mari: <br />Nunc mihi Tarpeias quantumvis, Jupiter, Arces <br /> Objice et illa mihi moenia Martis, ait, <br />Seu pelago Tibrim praefers, urbem aspice utramque, <br /> Illam homines dices, hanc posuisse deos. <br /> <br /> SANAZAR'S HEXASTICK. <br /> <br />In Adriatick waves when Neptune saw, <br />The city stand, and give the seas a law: <br />Now i' th' Tarpeian tow'rs Jove rival me, <br />And Mars his walls impregnable, said he; <br />Let seas to Tyber yield; view both their ods! <br />You'l grant that built by men, but this by gods.<br /><br />Richard Lovelace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sanazari-hexasticon/
