Стр. 52 - And even in penance planning sins anew. All evils here contaminate the mind, That opulence departed leaves behind; For wealth was theirs ; not far removed the date, When commerce proudly flourished through the state; At her command the palace learnt to rise, Again the long-fallen column sought the skies...
Стр. 52 - Commerce on other shores display'd her sail ; While nought remain'd of all that riches gave, But towns unmann'd, and lords without a slave; And late the nation found with fruitless skill Its former strength was but plethoric ill.
