Página 10 - Quantum ilia metus, quantum ilia laborum Urbs dedit insultans Latio et Laurentibus arvis ! Nunc passim vix reliquias, vix nomina servans, Obruitur propriis non agnoscenda ruinis. Et querimur genus infelix humana labare Membra aevo, quum regna palam moriantur, et urbes.
Página 69 - Ye horrid towers, the abode of broken hearts ; Ye dungeons and ye cages of despair, That monarchs have supplied from age to age With music, such as suits their sovereign ears, The sighs and groans of miserable men ! There's not an English heart that would not leap To hear that ye were fallen...
