There a thick Grove of aged Cypress Trees,
Which none without an awful Horror fees,
Into its wither'd Arms, depriv'd of Leaves,
Whole Flocks of ill-prefaging Birds receives.
Poifons are all the Plants that Soil will bear,
And Winter is the only Scafon there.
Millions of Graves o'erfpread the fpacious Field,
And Springs of Blood a thoufand Rivers yield;
Whofe Streams, opprefs'd with Carcaffes and Bones,

Inftead of gentle Murmurs, pour forth Groans.

Within this Vale a famous Temple ftands,

Old as the World itself, which it commands;
Round is its Figure; and four Iron Gates

Divide Mankind, by Order of the Fates.

Thither in Crouds come to one common Grave
The Young, the Old, the Monarch, and the Slave.
Old Age and Pains, thofe Evils Man deplores,
Are rigid Keepers of th' eternal Doors;

All clad in mournful Blacks, which fadly load
The facred Walls of this obfcure Abode:
