And, as the wave reflects his beams. Another heaven its surface seems ! Blue light and clouds of silvery tears So pictured o'er the waters lie. That every languid bark appears To float along a burning sky !" With similar enthusiasm he writes to his mother, in the letter of the 19th January: "These little islands of Bermuda form certainly one of the prettiest and most romantic spots that 1 could ever have imagined, and the descriptions which represent it as a place of fairy enchantment are very ...little beyond the truth.

These little islands are thickly covered with cedar groves, through the vistas of which you catch a few pretty white houses (5), which my poetical short-sight- edness always transforms into temples; and I often expect to see Nymphs and Graces come tripping from them, when, to my great disappointment, I find that a few miserable negroes is all 'the bloomy flush of life' it has to boast of.
