第 42 頁 - Atlantic rock undreading climb, And of its eggs despoil the solan's nest. Thus blest in primal innocence, they live, Sufficed and happy with that frugal fare Which tasteful toil and hourly 'danger give. Hard is their shallow soil, and bleak and bare ; Nor ever vernal bee was heard to murmur there ! XI.
