nec locus ille mihi cognoscitur indice fumo, qui dominas arces et caput orbis habet (quamquam signa levis fumi commendat Homerus, dilecto quotiens surgit in astra solo); sed caeli plaga candidior tractusque serenus signat septenis culmina clara iugis.
Nor is yonder place, which holds the imperial citadels and the worlds capital, recognised by me in virtue of the smoke which marks it out (and yet tis the signs of light smoke which Homer d praises whensoever it rises starward from a well-loved land); nay rather a fairer tract of sky and a serene expanse marks the clear summits of the Seven Hills.
