Near the ancient columns of Hercules
A line of hills gleams with turrets:
The shore winding in a long curve

Shapes itself into a bow;

II.

Mighty Carthage2 rules-over the waves

Of the vast1 sea;1 and opens3 her double harbour
Secured by the jutting-out of its sides, and

Here the sea2 rolls2 unbroken like

A river's1 d stream amid3 vast3
