Nor venom-freighted quiver.

What though he winds his toilsome way

O’er regions wild and weary—

Through Zara’s burning desert stray,

Or Asia’s jungles dreary:

What though he plough the billowy deep

By lunar light, or solar,

Meet the resistless Simoon’s sweep,

Or iceberg circumpolar!

In bog or quagmire deep and dank
