We started—and he led me toward the hills,[115]
Up through an ample vale, with higher hills
Before us, mountains stern and desolate;[BJ]
But, in the majesty of distance, now
Set off, and to our ken appearing fair
Of aspect, with aërial softness clad,
And beautified with morning's purple beams.
The wealthy, the luxurious, by the stress
Of business roused, or pleasure, ere their time,
May roll in chariots, or provoke the hoofs
