Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scintillae Carmenis
Who sported in the wake-ward foam, as though, Less favoured, they were aught less fair than she! Pride builds her shrine at Paphos, and demands Of human hearts a daily sacrifice.' She ceased - a sound as of a splashing oar Followed the lute-like plainings of her voice, And round the rocks that fold the bay to rest, Shot a light shallop, built of cypress wood, Sewn with a lion's hide against the sea.
