Last Line: For british virtues left behind?
Alternate Author Name(s): Leonardo
Subject(s): Earth;tourists;travel; World;journeys;trips


BUT most avoid Italia's coast,
Where ev'ry sentiment is lost,
Where Treach'ry reigns, and base Disguise,
And Murder—looking to the skies,
While sordid Selfishness appears
In low redundancy of fears.
O! what can Music's voice bestow,
Or sculptur'd grace, or Titian glow,
To recompense the feeling mind
For British virtues left behind?
