Rarely is a Gothic edifice or a feudal castle to be met with here; and the monuments of the ancient Romans reign alone triumphant over Time, and the nations by whom they have been conquered. The whole mountain which dominates Terracina, is covered with orange and lemon trees, which embalm the air in a delicious manner.
He clasped the white hand that had been laid within his, put his arm round her slender waist, and drawing her fondly to his bosom "This night at least," said he, "we'll pass at Terracina." Crack! crack! crack! crack! crack! Another apparition of the road attracted the attention of mine host and his guests.
We stopped at Terracina, where they gave us a room with three beds, two single beds and a large one between the two others. It was natural that the two sisters should take the large bed; they did so, and undressed themselves while the advocate and I went on talking at the table, with our backs turned to them.
For Doni he executed some heads from nature in the manner of medallions, with beautiful ornaments: King Henry of France, Cardinal Bembo, Messer Lodovico Ariosto, the Florentine Gello, Messer Lodovico Domenichi, Signora Laura Terracina, Messer Cipriano Morosino, and Doni himself.
On the blue waters that break with a deep and far voice along the rocks of that delicious shore, above which the mountain that rises behind Terracina scatters to the air the odours of the citron and the orange on that sounding and immemorial sea the stars, like the hopes of a brighter world upon the darkness and unrest of life, shone down with a solemn but tender light.
I saw many of them: they belonged still to a conquered Samnium. Or so it seemed to me. The train now runs from Rome to Velletri, and on to Terracina.

Drusus came as far as Terracina, with Claudius the brother of Germanicus, and those of his children who had been left at Rome. Tiberius and Livia avoided appearing abroad: public lamentation they thought below their grandeur; or perhaps they apprehended that their countenances, examined by all eyes, might show deceitful hearts.
For indeed he never more came to Rome; and a few days after leaving it, when he was at a villa of his called the Cave, near Terracina , during supper a great many huge stones fell from above, which killed several of the guests and attendants; but he almost hopelessly escaped.
While thus employed, one of Montreal's scouts arrived breathless and heated at the tent. "Captain," said he, "a company of thirty lances completely armed, with a long retinue of squires and pages, have just quitted Terracina. Their banners bear the two-fold insignia of Rome and the Colonna." "Ho!" said Montreal, gaily, "such a troop is a welcome addition to our company; send our squire hither."
