Melinda's monarch thus the tale pursu'd,
Of ancient faith, and GAMA thus renew'd:--
Now, from the wave the chariot of the day,
Whirl'd by the fiery coursers, springs away,
When, full in view, the giant Cape appears,
Wide spreads its limbs, and high its
shoulders
rears;
Behind us, now, it curves the bending side,
And our bold vessels plough the eastern tide.

As dear as my own children be;
For daily with my growing store

Tis but a little space
