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

144 From Rome to Naples.
The rough Fulturnus^ furious in its
Course,
With rapid Streams divides the fruitful
Grounds,
And from afar in hollow Murmurs sounds.
The Ruins of Anxuv and old Capua,
mark out the pleasant Situation in which
those Towns formerly flood. The sirfl
of them was planted on the Mountain,
where we now see Terracing and by rea-
son of the Breezes that came off the Sea,
and the Height of its Situation, was one
of the Summer Retirements of the an-
cient Romans.

Ye warbling Fountains, and ye Ihady
Trees,
Where Anxur feels the cool refreshing
Breeze
Blown ofF the Sea, and all the dewy
Strand
Lyes cover’d with a smooth unsinking
Sand ’
Anxuris aquorei placidos Frontine recejfus
Et propius Raias littoreamque domum,^
