EUROPE.
Songs and Dances of Italy.
"Italia, Italia.' hapless thou,
Who didst the fatal gift of beauty gain,
A dowry fraught -with never-ending pain,
A seal of sorrow stamped upon thy brow :
O, were thy bravery more, or less thy charms !
Then should thy foes, they whom thy lovelines.
Now lures afar to conquer and possess,
Adore thy beauty less or dread thine arms / "
