Addison, Joseph: Remarks on several parts of Italy: &c. in the years 1701, 1702, 1703 (London: Tonson, 1718)

x A Letter from Italy, &c.
But I’ve already troubled you too long,
Nor dare attempt a more advent’rous Song.
My humble Verse demands a softer Theme,
A painted Meadow or a purling Stream,
Unsit for Heroes; whom Immortal Lays,
And Lines like Virgil's, or like yours, (hou’d praist.

MONACO,
