Seite 308 - O'er the ear No sound of cheerful toil is swelling. Earth has no quickening spirit here, Nature no charm, and man no dwelling ! " Not less admirably has he described a Roman beauty ; such as " weaves her spells beyond the Tiber." " Methinks the Furies with their snakes, Or Venus with her zone, might gird her ; Of fiend and goddess she partakes, And looks at once both Love and Murder.
