On high Pausilipo there is a bower Where vinscsluxuriantly their tendrils weave, And who climbs here at that soul-soothing hour When steals o'er ocean the soft breath of eve, Will far behind the grosser passions leave; And buried in its solitary gloom Snatch from life's cares a short brat sweet reprieve, To ponder on the dead-great dead of Rome; And ...
