In fair Jamaica, it is said
(I but refer to what I've read)
Of land-crabs oft you meet a host
Impatient hurrying to the coast,
Soon as the season for migration
Warns them to quit their inland station .
—But why to fair Jamaica roam
For what, each summer, shows at home?
(I but refer to what I've read)
Of land-crabs oft you meet a host
Impatient hurrying to the coast,
Soon as the season for migration
Warns them to quit their inland station .
