920 Where other suns to other systems rise ! These front the scene conspicuous overhead Albion's proud oak his filial branches spread : While on the sea-beat shore obsequious stood Beneath their feet, the father of the flood 92 Here, the bold native of her cliffs above, Perch'd by the martial maid the bird of Jove ; There, on the watch, sagacious of his prey, With eyes of fire, an English mastiff lay. Yonder fair commerce stretch'd her winged sail ; 930 Here frown'd the god that wakes the livin...g gale High o'er the poop the flatt'ring winds unfurl'd Th' imperial flag that rules the wat'ry world.
THE SHIPWRECK.
Continued.
Deep blushing armors all the tops invest; And warlike trophies either quarter drest; 935 Then tower'd the masts, the canvas swell'd on high, And waving streamers floated in the sky.
Thus the rich vessel moves in trim array, Like some fair virgin on her bridal day.
Thus like a swan, she cleaves the watery plain, 940 The pride and wonder of the ^Egean main !
END OF CANTO I.
