That cargo! O! never was galleon of Spain

Thus freighted, by winds wafted over the Main!

There were stuffs, and brocades, and rich laces and blonde;

There were Damascene blades, and thy silks Trebisond;

There was armor from Milan, both cuirass and helm,

Abelards, Eloïsas, and Father Anselm:

There were jewels, and gold, and the amulet’s power,

A hero to spout, and to rant by the hour;

A lady to love, and be loved, and to faint,

As a matter of course, turning pale through her paint!
