She saw the couches of the dead, & where the fibrous roots

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Charmides and Other Poems by Oscar Wilde: Marshals the way to Holy Rome.

Upon the seven hills thy reign!

Crowned with bright crowns of triple gold!

That leads unto thy sacred street.
