JOURNAL OF A TRAVELLER ON THE CONTINENT.
Wednesday, Oct. 12th.-I effected a junction with an Englishman whom I found at Domo d'Ossola ; we mounted a char with one horse, and passed through a pleasant country, amongst fields of Indian corn and millet, and vines on trellises, by a most excellent road. The growth of the vines, the belfries and the low roofs, and some other particulars, showed us that we were in Italy. We followed the course of the river Toce, which we crossed twice, the valley widening by degrees; we passed some fine quarries of white marble, and came suddenly on the Lago Maggiore, at Fariolo. We did not stop there, but went on a little further to Baveno, where we put up. After dinner we walked by the margin of the lovely lake: it was a most delicious evening; there was a calm softness in the air, a transparency and purity in the light and colours, which I had not experienced on the lakes of Switzerland, or in any place which I had hitherto visited. I slept for the first time on a rustling bed, made of the thick husks in which the ears of the Indian corn are swathed. Some insect which I have never seen, nor ever heard before or since, kept up during the night a ceaseless ticking.
Thursday, Oct. 13th.-We took a boat to the Borromean islands. The outward appearance of the palace on the Isola Bella is unfavourable; but on entering it we found many good rooms floored with a beautiful stucco, and many good pictures. The basement story is in the rustic or grotesque style; the effect is excellent; in the heats of summer it must be a cool and agreeable retreat: in the quiet lake under the window the quiet fish (many of them are of a large size) glide to and fro. The family were all at prayers in the chapel. gardens of Babylon, of Alcina, and of Armida, are here realized; ten terraces, rising one above the other, built on arches and founded on piles, are a great work, and of a happy effect; it is thus characterized in the inscription
Vitalianus Comes Borromæus,
&c. &c. &c.
Informibus scopulis substruens et extruens
Dignitatem otiis, majestatem deliciis
comparabat. 1671.
The myriads of lemons that covered the walls were nearly ripe; there were some shaddocks also, and we descended to a little grove of orange trees; most of them were of a remarkable size. It was delightful to enter for the first time into a grove of laurels; the real bay, the laurus nobilis, grew over our heads into a great tree, and the young ones sprung up from the old stools: we almost expected to find the ancient bards and heroes, " Inter odoratum lauri nemus. There is a good collection of exotics; the gardens are kept perfectly neat; three men and twenty-five women are constantly employed at this season the latter must have full occupation in picking up the falling leaves. The fine pyramidal cypresses, as it were ever-green poplars, have a singular and pleasing aspect.
The Isola Madre is a larger and more natural island; there are some trellises with lemons, but it is chiefly a garden, somewhat in the English style, with laurels and cypresses. There is a large house, or small palace, half furnished and uninhabited; it would be pleasant to occupy some rooms in it during the summer months with a Calypso; we amused ourselves in guessing, as the boat quitted the place, which rock the old maid Minerva would choose to throw the modern Telemachus from into the lake, in the capacity of a Mentor; a catastrophe which would assuredly happen, for the gods have a strange delight in disturbing persons who seem to be quietly settled. Calypso of old complained that they were troublesome fellows, and intolerably jealous:
Σχετλιοι εστε, θεοι, ζηλημονες εξοχον άλλων.
They are not less morose in these matters at present than they were thirty centuries ago. The day was delicious-the lake lovely; the view from Laveno is even finer than from the opposite side; more of the lake is opened to the sight. We had reluctantly given up the colossal statue of St. Charles Borromeo at Arona, his native city, and the pleasure of sitting in the nose of this hero of Christianity, and taking a pinch of snuff there.
At Laveno, an Austrian collector of customs took a pair of old shoes out of my bag, opened the paper that contained them, picked and smelt at them; contemplated my razor-strop; and having asked me two or three times if I had any thing that ought to pay duty, at last suffered me to depart. I have been told that the Austrians turned back an unlucky traveller from the frontier, because a pair of shoes were accidentally wrapped up in the Morning Chronicle: we were fortunately not plucked at this examination.
We procured a carriage and horses, and fixed the price after some debate, and drove through a pleasant country to Varese. We saw some ugly women of the country eat the largest and most wholesale supper, and in the grossest manner I ever beheld, to the great entertainment of myself and the great annoyance of my companion. The sofas in this district are lofty, extensive, and luxurious.
Friday, Oct. 14th.-We walked through the narrow streets of the little old city of Varese; the church of St. Victor is handsome, and another is prettily painted. We could not delay long enough to visit a place venerable for its religion, and celebrated for the view which it commands, Madonna del Monte; we saw it only at a distance. We continued our journey in an open carriage, and passed through an
