Far as the sickening eye can swee}) around, 'Tis all one desert, desolate, and gray. Grazed by the sullen buffalo alone ; And, where the rank uncultivated growth Of rotting ages taints the passing gale, Beneath the baleful blast the city j)ines, Or sinks enfeebled, or infectccl l^wrns ; Beneath it mourns the solitary road, Rolled in rude mazes (/er the abandoned waste ; While ancient ways, ingulfecl, arc seen no more. The Pontine marshes, find thp marslKis of Manturiisa. 164 LIBERTY. " Such thj...r dire plains, thou self-destroyer ! foe To humankind ! thy moiintaiiis too, profuse. Where savage nature blooms, seem their sad plaint To raise against thy desolating rod. There on the breezy brow, where thriving states And famous cities, once, to the pleased sun. Far other scenes of rising culture spread, Pale shine thy ragged towns. Neglected round, Each harvest pines ; the livid, lean produce Of heartless labor : while thy hated joys. Not proper pleasure, lift the lazy hand. Better to sink in sloth the woes of life.
