Villas then rose on all sides, " In Umbria's closing vales, or on the brow Of her brown hills that breathe the scented gale ; On Baise's viny coast, where peaceful seas, Fanned by kind zephyrs, ever kiss the shore, And suns unclouded shine through purest air : 176 JAMES THOMSON [CHAP.
Or in the spacious neighbourhood of Rome, Far-shining upward to the Sabine hills, To Anio's roar and Tibur's olive shade, To where Preneste lifts her airy brow ; Or downward spreading to the sunny shore, Where Alb...a breathes the freshness of the main. " From all sides aqueducts and roads converged to Borne, whose uncorrupted Senate and noble breed of men are held up for unqualified admiration. To Thomson, apparently, it seemed that Rome under the later Republic was an ideal state, in which every virtue and every art was displayed in its utmost perfection. Naturally the contrast seemed striking between this attractive picture and the view of Italy as it was in the eighteenth century ; and naturally also it was easy to show that "Oppression, " in one or other of its various forms, had wrought the mischief.
