. Poems from the works of Charles Cotton; newly decorated by Claud Lovat Fraser . 26. Cellars and Grottos now are bestTo eat and drink in, or to rest,And not a Soul above is foundCan find a refuge under ground. When Pagan Tyranny grew hot,Thus persecuted Christians gotIn to the dark but friendly WombOf unknown Subterranean Rome. And as that heat did cool at last,So a few scorching hours oer a more mild and temprate RayWe may again enjoy the day.
