Browsed down the base whence the tree-dome grew:

And the sentinel-antelope, aëried high,

With his frighten’d bound taught his friends to fly:

Where the lovely Coast is all rank with death,

That basks in the sun of the Zingian shore;

Where the mountains, dank with the ocean’s breath,

Bear the incense-tree and the sycamore;

Where the grim fierce desert and stony hill

Breed the fiercest beasts, and men fiercer still:

Where the land of the Moon, with all blessings blest
