B. III. Arrive! Enough abroad, enough at home Has Albion bled.Here a distemper'd heaven Has thin'd her cities; from those lofty cliffs That awe proud Gaul, to Thule's wintry reign; While in the West, beyond th' Atlantic foam, Her bravest sons, keen for the fight, have died The death of cowards, and of common men; Sunk void of wounds, and fall'n without renown.


 * But from these views the weeping Muses turn,

And other themes invite my wandering song.
