English poem
Agrippina.
Is not this charming, Fulvia? what a day! I feel I have never breathed spring air before. And how the people cheered! it did me good. Here’s my old seat. The villa’s looking well. Could but Domitia see us now! How smoothly Her little plot went off! My first suspicions, Fulvia, I am sure were wrong: this invitation Was most well meant; and see the tenderness Has even called up my tears. You cannot know What fond associations make this house A home indeed. I wish I had not refused To take the yacht at Bauli: ’twas an error, Over-precaution.
