Stretch thy strong wing, thy flight retake,
Nor trust the inhospitable brake!—
Ah, forc’d from the luxuriant ground,
He mounts, and feels the sudden wound.
So transmeridian Zealand views
Adventurous Europe’s wandering crews:
Fierce hunger eyes the stranger-guest,
And fraud secures the barbarous feast;
Stain’d are the rocks with human gore,
And white with scatter’d bones the shore.
