A Miscellany of Poems | ||
SENECA, an Exile in Corsica.
The barb'rous Cors'ca rocks prærupt surround,An horrid, wild, uncomfortable ground,
No fruits in Autumn; flow'rs in Summer bloom,
No gifts of Pallas glad in Winter's gloom;
In Spring no sweet vicissitude is seen;
No tree nor turf adorn'd with lovely green;
Nor grain nor drop nor spark, these scenes present,
Nor ought but banish'd men, and banishment.
