LETTER from ITALY,

To the Right Honourable

CHARLES Lord HALLIFAX

In the Year MDCCL.

Salve magna parens frugum Saturnia tellus,
Magna Virum! tibi res Antiqua laudis & Artis
Aggredior, fanttos aufus recludere fontes.

[ocr errors]

Virg. Geo. 2.

By Mr. JOSEPH ADDISON.

HILE you, my Lord, the rural Shades admire,

And from Britannia's publick Pofts

retire;

Nor longer, her ungrateful Sons to

please,

For their Advantage facrifice your

Ease;

Me into Foreign Realms my Fate conveys,
Through Nations fruitful of Immortal Lays,
Where the foft Seafon and inviting Clime
Confpire to trouble your Repose with Rhime.
For wherefoe'er I turn my ravish'd Eyes,
Gay gilded Scenes and fhining Profpects rife,
Poetick Fields encompass me around,
And still I seem to tread on Claffic Grounds
