Brefcia, Verona, *Padiia. 41
Loads they lay on other Provinces, for
fear of a Revolt j and are forc’d to Treat
them with much more Indulgence than
the Spaniards do their Neighbours, that
they may have no Temptation to it.
Brefcia is famous for its Iron-Works.
A small Day’s Journey more brought us
to Verona. We saw the Lake Benacus
in our way, which the Italians now call
Lago di Garda: It was so rough with
Tempests when we pass’d by it, that it
brought into my Mind Virgil's Noble
Description of it.
ddde lacus tantos, te Lari rnaxime, toque
FluHtibus & fremitu ajfurgens, Benace, ma-
rino.
Here vex’d by Winter Storms Bena-
cus raves,
Confus’d with working Sands and rol-
ling Waves 5
Rough and tumultuous like a Sea it lyes,
So loud the Tempest roars, so high the
Billows rise.
This Lake perfectly resembles a Sea,
when it is work’d up by Storms. It is
Thirty Five Miles in length, and Twelve
in breadth. At the lower end of it we
crols’d the Mincio.
