Morocco, Fez, and Oran, looking down,

  Hippona, Argier, he, and Bugia told,

  Which from all cities bear away the crown,

  No palm or parsley wreath, but crown of gold;

  Noble Biserta next and Tunis-town,

  Capys, Alzerba's isle, the warrior bold,

  Tripoli, Berniche, Ptolomitta viewed,

  And into Asia's land the Nile pursued.
