Silius Italicus here takes notice, that
the poisonous Vapours which arose from
the Lake Awrno in Hannib al's Time,
were quite dispers’d at the time when
he wrote his Poem; because Agrippa,
who liv’d between Hannibal and Silius,
had cut down the Woods that enclos’d
the Lake, and hinder’d these noxious
Steams from dissipating, which were im-
mediately scatter’d as soon as the Winds
and frcsh Air were let in among them.
