Or quiet cliff-paths where the Indians pray,

And see the sweepers in the sky-blue reaches

Of Troy's own water, where the Greek ships lay,

And touch the boat-hulks, where they float forlorn,

The wounded boats of that first April morn;

Nor wake unhappily to see the sun come

And stand to arms in some Cimmerian grot—

But I, in town, well rid of all that bunkum,

I like to think that Mahomet is not;

He must sit on, now sweltering, now frozen,
