And buildings. The Nelson is in Canada,

fece a la porta sì, ch'i' fu' contento.
«Quandunque l'una d'este chiavi falla,
che non si volga dritta per la toppa»,
diss'elli a noi, «non s'apre questa calla.
Più cara è l'una; ma l'altra vuol troppa
d'arte e d'ingegno avanti che diserri,
perch'ella è quella che 'l nodo digroppa.
Da Pier le tegno; e dissemi ch'i' erri
anzi ad aprir ch'a tenerla serrata,
pur che la gente a' piedi mi s'atterri».

...ere the Seine flows, and where the Danube, the Loire, the Rhone, and the
Guadalquiver

I see the windings of the Volga, the Dnieper, the Oder;
I see the Tuscan going down the Arno, and the Venetian along the Po;
I see the Greek seaman sailing out of Egina bay.

I see the site of the old empire of Assyria, and that of Persia, and that of India;
