III.

The European with the Asian shore

Sprinkled with palaces—the Ocean stream[271]Here and there studded with a seventy-four,

Sophia's Cupola with golden gleam,[272]The cypress groves, Olympus high and hoar,

The twelve isles, and the more than I could dream,

Far less describe, present the very view

Which charmed the charming Mary Montagu.
