CII.

What "antres vast and deserts idle,"[731] then,

Would be discovered in the human soul!

What icebergs in the hearts of mighty men,

With self-love in the centre as their Pole!

What Anthropophagi are nine of ten

Of those who hold the kingdoms in control!

Were things but only called by their right name,

Cæsar himself would be ashamed of Fame.[732]
