[This Morn, I quit the shore of Ignorance]

This Morn, I quit the shore of Ignorance,
And hoist my sail for the enlarged World;
I mean through Night and tempest to advance,
Wherever Jove hath his bright thunder hurl'd:
Through all the yawning horrours of the deep,
To pleasant shores, and to those caves of woe,
Where the fell monsters their observance keep,
And men the ends of their sad journey know:
To pleasant shores, where lovely laws abound,
And Virtue her fair banner sets on high,
The new Utopia, if that e'er was found,
Or that divine-imagin'd Arcady:
Farewell, my Friends! with gallant winds I go,
To die in passage, or more life to know!
