Urbs and Bumkins
Urb A Walled City in Ancient Rome.
Urb the city, especially as a symbol of harsh or busy modern life."to be of the urbs, to be urbane, is to be political and to be civilized"
Urb, Its position, at the point where the Volscian Hills reach the coast, leaving no space for passage between them and the sea, commanding the Pomptine Marshes (urbs pron g in paludes, as Livy calls it) and possessing a small harbour, was one of great strategic importance; and it thus appears very early in Roman history.
He wrote some good hymns, including "O Throned, 0 Crowned" and a beautiful version of Urbs Beata.
