    In tears I tossed my coin from Trevi's edge.
    A coin unsordid as a bond of love--
    And, with the instinct of the homing dove,
    I gave to Rome my rendezvous and pledge.
    And when imperious Death
    Has quenched my flame of breath,
    Oh, let me join the faithful shades that throng that fount above.

observe the custom of the place, if you would neither give
offence to others, nor take offence from them.

See the wild Waste of all-devouring years!

With nodding arches, broken temples spread!
The very Tombs now vanish'd like their dead!
