—CHAPMAN.

I stood upon the Mountain which o'erlooks

The narrow seas, whose rapid interval

Parts Afric from green Europe, when the Sun

Had fall'n below th' Atlantick, and above

The silent Heavens were blench'd with faery light,

Uncertain whether faery light or cloud,

Flowing Southward, and the chasms of deep, deep blue

Slumber'd unfathomable, and the stars
