A youthful Pepin of the royal line

  He after shows; who seemed to spread his host,

  Even from THE KILNS to the Isle of Palestine;

  And with a bridge, achieved at mighty cost,

  At Malamocco, to bestride the brine,

  And on Rialto's shore his battle post.

  Then fly and leave his drowning bands behind,

  His bridge destroyed by wasting waves and wind.
