The shuddering tenant of the frigid zone Boldly proclaims that happiest spot his own ; Extols the treasures of his stormy seas, And his long nights of revelry and ease : The naked negro, panting at the Line, Bonsts of his golden sands and palmy wine, Basks in the glare, or stems the tepid wave, And thanks his gods for all the good they gave.

Pagina 298 - He hath reached his goal — by a distant wave 'Neath a sultry sun they've laid him — And stranger forms bent o'er his grave When the last sad rites were paid him.
