30 Allons! whoever you are,
come travel with me!
Traveling with me, you find what never tires.
31 The earth never tires;
The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first — Nature is rude and incomprehensible at first;
Be not discouraged — keep on — there are divine things, well envelop'd;
I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.
32 Allons! We must not stop here!
However sweet these laid venient this dwelling, we cannot remain here;
However shelter'd this port, and however calm these waters, we must not anchor here;
However welcome the hospitality that surrounds us, we are permitted to receive it but a little while.
