Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poems Translated From the Spanish and German Ode On The Ruins Of Italica, (De Rioja.) Those dreary solitudes which now you view, Alas, my Fabius, with regretful eye; Those long-lost ruins, filled with herbage new, And hidden from the gaze of passers by, Were once a beauteous city, of noted fame, Old Seville, or Italica, its name. Here, Scipio´s might a conquering colony placed, Here, Scipio´s hand the wall´s foundation traced, Of which not even ashes now remain - An object, first of dread, then of disdain! Nor yet a shattered fragment can we find, Nor relic of its world-enslaving kind; No signs are left to lure the traveler nigh Where disembodied ghosts of Romans fly; Where shades released from Pluto´s dread domain Revisit both the forum and the fane; Where the athletes were wont to show their skill, And where the Thermiæ stood, near yon pure rill; And find no vestige, and their loss complain. The lofty battlements that beat the sky, At their own base in dusty powder lie. Torn into million atoms, long dispersed, Here stood the playhouse of those gods accursed; Whose fearful fall that row of quickset shows, How great ´twas once, and how much less its close. Ah, wicked Time, say, wilt thou ne´er repose? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
