Miscellaneous Thoughts.  When Scipio saw the famous city of
Carthage in ruins . . . [6 lines]  Full of these mournful
ideas, he repeated the following verses of Homer:
  The day shall come, that great avenging day,
  Which Troy's proud glories in the dust shall lay;
  When Priam's power's, and Priam's self shall fall,
  And one prodigious ruin swallow all. [signed] Pope.
