Explanation: 
In these lines the writer describes the difficulties for the treveller. He advises him not to go ahead as the path is very dangerous and killing. There are heaps of rubbish and waste material there which made the whole way ill-smelling. This piece of land is no less than a graveyard where even the bravest and the strongest lost their way. 
                                                        No time to turn at beauty's glance, 
                                                       And watch her feet, how they can dance; 
                                                      No time ot wait till her mouth can 
                                                      Enrich that smile, her eyes began?
