Irene: a poem, in six cantos: miscellaneous poems

LIV.
| They near'd the earth—a richly wooded plain15 | |
| Between two mountain ranges shelter'd well, | |
| And opening to the north on the blue main, | |
| Seem'd safe from all the ills that e'er befel | |
| Earth's fairest portions—floods nor famine fell | |
| Could there intrude, and e'en the hot siroc, | |
| Fenc'd out by mountain-spirits' icy spell, | |
| Dar'd not o'erpass the boundaries of rock | |
| Which spread their cooling shades o'er tree, and stream, and flock. |
