The palm, the loftiest dryad of the woods,

Within whose bosom infant Bacchus broods,

While eagles scarce build higher than the crest

Which shadows o’er the vineyard in her breast;

The cava feast, the yam, the cocoa’s root,

Which bears at once the cup, and milk, and fruit;

The bread-tree, which, without the ploughshare, yields

The unreaped harvest of unfurrowed fields,

And bakes its unadulterated loaves
