LXX.

Though travelled, I have never had the luck to

Trace up those shuffling negroes, Nile or Niger,

To that impracticable place Timbuctoo,

Where Geography finds no one to oblige her

With such a chart as may be safely stuck to—

For Europe ploughs in Afric like "bos piger:"[639]But if I had been at Timbuctoo, there

No doubt I should be told that black is fair.[LT] [640]
