This isle committed unto Dorian hands + 

To be Heaven’s stewards, since, in Aiakus’ days, + 

When Phoebus and the Girder of all lands + 

A tower-coronal for Troy would raise, + 

And as their fellow-builder bade him come + 

To rear that wall, which should, when wars awoke, + 

Breathe out, when battle brought her day of doom, + 

Wild-billowing smoke. + 
