| And where the sky is paler | H |
| The golden virgin of the guard | G |
| Shines beckoning the sailor | H |

| She hears the city roar on high | I |
| Thief prostitute and banker | H |
| She sees the masted vessels lie | I |

| She sees the snowy islets dot | J |
| The sea's immortal azure | H |
| And If that castellated spot | J |
| Tower turret and embrasure | H |
