Strana 17 - the hill of Tivoli is all over picture. The town, the villas, the ruins, the rocks, the cascades, in the foreground; the Sabine hills, the three Monticelli, Soracte, Frascati, the Campagna, and Rome in the distance—these form a succession of landscapes superior, in the delight produced, to the richest cabinet of
Strana 198 - Avernis? Or shall I praise thy ports, or mention make Of the vast mound that binds the Lucrine Lake? Or the disdainful sea, that, shut from thence, Roars round the structure, and invades the fence, There, where secure the Julian waters glide, Or where Avernus'jaws admit the Tyrrhene
