Hispania Ulterior Canto II: Italica.



















5
Out from the south Al-Andalus' flame,
A bitter reproach despite the rules of the game,
Moments left waiting, the time be at hand,
Regret thee not the pilgrimage made from thy land.

6
Of Baetica I canst tell thee not,
'Tis here the vine be easily got,
In an immodest climate unfold the days,
Given o'er to ease and riotous ways.

7
Hadrian's homeland, from here he came,
Sleepy Italica on a rustic plain, 
Where down to the pit didst the brave descend,
Where of Leo and Pisces animosity didst amend.
