Bermudas wall'd with roks, who does not know, That happy Island, where huge lemons grow, And orange trees, which golden fruit do bear That hesperian gardens boast of none so fair. Where shilling pearls, coral, and many a pound On the rich shore of ambergrease is found? The lofty cedar, which to heaven aspires, The Prince of trees, is fewel for their fires, The smoack, by which their loaded spit do turn, For incense might on sacred altars burn, Their private Roofs an odorous Timber born, Such as might palaces for kings adorn, &c.
