Note 601 — Part II—The Worldlings (continued 4)
Henri Van Laun translation
"With floods of gore that from the vanquished fell The marshes stagnate and the rivers swell. Mountains of slain, etc...... Rows of hollow brass, Tube behind tube the dreadful entrance keep, Whilst in their wombs ten thousand thunders sleep...." "... Here shattered walls, like broken rocks, from far Rise up in hideous views, the guilt of war; Whilst here the vine o'er hills of ruin climbs Industrious to conceal great Bourbon's crimes."—Vol. I. 63-82.
