They stare, and view them with religious eyes,

And straight conclude them gods; since none but they

Through their own azure skies could find a way.

Now Delos, Paros, on the left are seen,

And Samos, favour’d by Jove’s haughty queen;

Upon the right, the isle Lebynthos named,

And fair Calymne for its honey famed.

When now the boy, whose childish thoughts aspire

To loftier aims, and make him ramble higher,

Grown wild and wanton, more embolden’d flies
