Mayhap exported from the Frith of Forth,

Defying distance and its dim control;

Perhaps read about Stromness, and reckon'd worth

A brace of Miltons for capacious soul—

Perhaps studied in the whalers, further north,

And set above ten Shakspeares near the pole!

XIV.

Oh, when thou writest by Aladdin's lamp,

With such a giant genius at command,

Forever at thy stamp,
