IV. OF THE GOLDEN AGE[*** section heading]

/*
Recall for me, recall
The time more true and ample;
The world whereon I trample,
How tortuous and small!
Behold, I tire of all.

Once, gods in jeweled mail
Through greenwood ways invited;
There now the moon is blighted,
And mosses long and pale
On lifeless cedars trail.
  
  <i>Child, keep this good unrest:
  But give to thine own story
  Simplicity with glory;
  To greatness dispossessed,
  Dominion of thy breast.</i>
  
  <i>In abstinence, in pride,
  Thou, who from Folly's boldest
  Thy sacred eye withholdest,
  Another morn shalt ride
  At Agamemnon's side.</i>
*/

Italic stanzas

When consecutive stanzas in a poem are in italics (or bold or any other type of inline format), each one must be tagged separately. This rule also applies to consecutive paragraphs in prose.
