V. The Guinea Voyage a poem, in 3 books, by James Field Stanfield, in-4°, London 1787. On me saura gré de citer le début du second livre.
High where primeval forests, shade the land 'And in majestic solemn order stand A sacred station raises now it seat O' er the loud stream that murmur at its feet Of Niger rushing thro' the fertile plains Swelled by the cataract of Tropic rains Long' ere surcharged his turgid flood divides; To burst an Ocean in three thundering tides.
