MY Martial owns a garden, famed to please, / Beyond the glades of the Hesperides; / Along Janiculum lies the chosen block / Where the cool grottos trench the hanging rock.
The moderate summit, something plain and bare, / Tastes overhead of a serener air; / And while the clouds besiege the vales below, / Keeps the clear heaven and doth with sunshine glow.
