Throughout all Italy beside, / What does one find, but Want and Pride? / Farces of superstitious folly, / Decay, Distress, and Melancholy: / The Havoc of Despotic Power, / A country rich, its owners poor; / Unpeopled towns, and lands untilled, / Bodys uncloathed, and mouths unfilled. / The nobles miserably great, / In painted domes, and empty state, / Too proud to work, too poor to eat, / No arts the meaner sort employ, / They nought improve, nor ought enjoy. / Each blown from misery grows a saint, / He prays from idleness, and fasts from want.
