And sails secure within the dark retreat.

Now is he pleas'd the northern blast to hear,

And hangs on liquid mountains, void of fear;

Or falls immers'd into the depths below,

Where the dead silent waters never flow;

To the foundation of the hills convey'd,

Dwells in the shelving mountain's dreadful shade:

Where plummet never reach'd, he draws his breath,

And glides serenely thro' the paths of death.

Two wondrous days and nights thro' coral groves,
