in VENICE
"Of
all the places where the Carnival
Was most facetious in the days of yore,
For dance, and song , and serenade, and ball,
And masque, and mime, and mystery, and more
Than I have time to tell now, or at all,
Venice the bell from every city bore,
and at the moment when I fix my story,
That sea-born city was in all her glory"
from "Beppo", Lord George Byron
