Be- neath my feet lay the dungeons of the inqui- sition, and I reflected how many light hearts, free and unconfined as the prospect of the sea before it, had tripped over the pavement of this gay piazza, heedless of the captive beneath, pining in solitude and darkness. I felt all the horrours of slavery exemplified in these victims of a policy, at which huma- nity shudders. Yet the government of Ve- nice wore the semblance of a republick. It was a temple outwardly consecrated to the worship of ...liberty, dressed in the trophies of arms, and of arts, and decorated with the splen- did monuments of valour and of genius, but in its interiour recesses, in its " holy of ho- lies, " despotism celebrated her horrid myste- ries. "Disguise thyself as thou wilt, still " slavery, still thou art a bitter draught. " The incessant roll of carriages, which, throughout the night, fatigues the ear in Lon- don and in Paris, is a species of annoyance unknown in Venice. Every thing appears to sleep as tranquil as the sea around it, but under this appearance of profound slum- ber, vice and pleasure are awake, and like Comus and his band, are invoking the genius of darkness to thicken around them the shades of night.
