Hence the great principle to all expands,
Thaws Lapland's ice, and glows on India's sands;
Above, below, its genial splendours play,
Where'er an human footstep marks the way.
“Oh! for one track of man upon the snow,
“The trace of sweet society to show;
“Oh! for one print on swarthy Afric's shore!”
Thus prays the wanderer 'scap'd from Ocean's roar;
In every clime is felt the thorb divine,
By land, by water, here, and at the Line.
