Chapter_655

High barrows, without marble, or a name,

A vast, untilled, and mountain-skirted plain,

And Ida in the distance, still the same,

And old Scamander (if ’tis he) remain;

The situation seems still formed for fame⁠—

A hundred thousand men might fight again,

With ease; but where I sought for Ilion’s walls,

The quiet sheep feeds, and the tortoise crawls;
