Texitur in puppim, cæsoque induta juvenco,
Vectoris patiens tumidum super emicat amnem.
Sic Venetus stagnante Pado, fusoque Britanus
Navigat oceano——
When Sicoris to his own banks restor’d
Had left the field, of twigs, and willow boord
They made small Boats, cover’d with Bullocks hide,
In which they reacht the Rivers further side.
So sail the Veneti if Padus flow,
The Brittains sail on their calm ocean so:
