THE VISITOR. NO. 46. By Philanthropy Candid, Esq;
Who sings the source
Of wealth and fame?
Vast field of commerce and big war;
Where wonders dwell;
Where terrors dwell;
And Neptune thunders from his car!
[Attributed to] Young.
. . . [article about the sea, 46 lines]
Sure he who first the passage try'd,
In harden's oak his heart did hide;
Or with firm brass of triple sold,
His breast courageously enroll'd!
. . . [18 more lines of verse, attributed to] Dryden]
