II
The Fall of Troy

Illustrious Troy! renown’d in every clime

Through the long records of succeeding time;

Who saw protecting gods from heaven descend

Full oft, thy royal bulwarks to defend.

Though chiefs unnumber’d in her cause were slain,

With fate the gods and heroes fought in vain;

That refuge of perfidious Helen’s shame

At midnight was involved in Grecian flame;

And now, by time’s deep ploughshare harrow’d o’er,

The seat of sacred Troy is found no more.

No trace of her proud fabrics now remains,

But corn and vines enrich her cultured plains.

Falconer, Shipwreck.
