On bold adventure to discover wide
That dismal world, if any Clime perhaps
Might yeild them easier habitation, bend
Four ways thir flying March, along the Banks
Of four infernal Rivers that disgorge
Into the burning Lake thir baleful streams;
Abhorred Styx the flood of deadly hate,
Sad Acheron of sorrow, black and deep;
Cocytus, nam'd of

Heard on the ruful stream; fierce Phlegeton 580

Sorrow the way to death; but patiently
Bear up against it: so farewel, sad sigh;

My pilgrimage for the world's dusky brink.
