NAPLES-(Continusd)

The beautiful, semicircuiar little BAY
which encroaches upon the land on the
eastern side of the Cape, is the anc ;ent
harbor of Ba!e. Its shores are formed
by high curved hill which descends with
much regularity to the beach; broken, in
deed may almost say formed, into terra
ces; by the half covered walls OF ancient
houses; which, together with the shape OF
the ground, produce somewhat the resen,-
blance of Roman theatre, with its long
bending rows OF seats, rising behind each
other. This ground was formerly so COM
pletey CROWDED with the splendid dwell
inas Of the wealthy Romans, their villas,
palaces, baths and temples, that large
piers were built out into the hey, and &C.
cupied by edifces which could find no
loom on shore. Virgil shews an intimate
acquaintance with this coast, and often
refers 10 the neighburing scenery; and
Horace speaks OF Baie with great famiIi-
arity in many of his poems; for hither the
poets used to resort 10 enjoy the society
OF their patrons Augustus and Mecenas,
and to indulge in the pleasures which
their wealth and friendship could bestow.
