About the wilds they hunt, with spear and horn,

On spleenful unicorn.

"I saw Osirian Egypt kneel adown,

Before the vine-wreathed crown;

I saw parched Abyssinia rouse and sing,

To the silver cymbal's ring!

I saw the whelming vintage hotly pierce

Old Tartary the fierce,

The kings of eld their jewel sceptres vail,

And from their treasures scatter pearled hail;
