Sicilia

"When, wafted to Sicilia, dawns in sight / Pelorus' channel, keep the leftward shore, / though long the circuit, and avoid the right."

"These lands, 'tis said, one continent of yore / (such change can ages work) an earthquake tore / asunder; in with havoc rushed the main, / and far Sicilia from Hesperia bore, / and now, where leapt the parted land in twain, / the narrow tide pours through, 'twixt severed town and plain."
