TRAVELS 
wandering till the approach of winter in thofe woods, or been 
under the neceffity of returning to Kautokeino. At laft we fpied 
the fleeple of the chureh of Enontekis, after travelling two days and 
a half, and ajourney of near one hundred Englifh miles. We arrived 
at Enontekis the day after the departure of two Englifh travel¬ 
lers, w ? ho had undertaken the fame journey as our’s; but one of 
them being taken ill with a fever, they -were obliged, after re¬ 
maining for fome time at this place, to return. This gentleman 
was a mafler of arts, and a fellow of Jefus college, Cambridge ; 
a man of genius and lively parts, as w r ell as learning : he had been 
in Italy, and underflanding that an Italian was travelling to the 
northward, and would perhaps return that way, he wrote down 
in a kind of regifter, or book of record, kept by the worthy 
clergyman, four lines from Ariofto, which were admirably well 
adapted to my fituation, and painted to the life the fatigues of 
my journey.

Per baize e per pendui orridi e ftrani, 
Dove non via, dove camin non era, 
Dove ne fegno, ne veftigia umanaA 
Thefe tw 7 o Englifh gentlemen had Raid with the clergyman 
for a week, and had been treated by the whole family with the 
* Six tedious days, from morn to eve, I pafs’d 
O’er many a pendent cliff and horrid wafte;. 
At length a wild and lonely vale I found, 
With hills and dreadful caves encompafs’d round.
