Michael Angelo, Benvenuto Cellini.
MICHAEL ANGELO. / So, Benvenuto, you return once more / To the Eternal City. 'T is the centre / To which all gravitates. One finds no rest / Elsewhere than here. There may be other cities / That please us for a while, but Rome alone / Completely satisfies. It becomes to all / A second native land by predilection, / And not by accident of birth alone.
