The Hemisphere of Earth in cleerest Ken

Ascend, I follow thee, safe Guide, the path

And Samarchand by Oxus, Temirs Throne,

And from the Well of Life three drops instilld.

Or thence from Niger Flood to Atlas Mount

Of mightiest Empire, from the destind Walls

Eevn to the inmost seat of mental sight,

Rich Mexico the seat of Motezume,

Our second Adam in the Wilderness,

In九九藏书网 the Visions of God: It was a Hill

Marocco and Algiers, and Tremisen;

In Hispahan, or where the Russian Ksar

To whom thus Adam gratefully replid. [ 370 ]

Not higher that Hill nor wider looking round,

Of Congo, and Angola fardest South;

The visual Nerve, for he had much to see; [ 415 ]

And Cusco in Peru, the richer seat

To Paquin of Sinæan Kings, and thence九-九-藏-书-网 [ 390 ]

The Persian in Ecbatan sate, or since

So deep the power of these Ingredients piercd,

Of Paradise the highest, from whose top

The World: in Spirit perhaps he also saw

Soon raisd, and his attention thus recalld.

Turchestan-born; nor could his eye not ken

Down to the golden Chersonese, or where

But him the gen藏书网tle Angel by the hand

Thou leadst me, and to the hand of Heavn submit,

My obvious breast, arming to overcom

In Mosco, or the Sultan in Bizance, [ 395 ]

Whereon for different cause the Tempter set

Sunk down and all his Spirits became intranst: [ 420 ]

That Adam now enforct to close his eyes,

Of Atabalipa, and yet unspoild

On Europe thence, and where Rome was to sway [九_九_藏_书_网 405 ]

Stretcht out to amplest reach of prospect lay. [ 380 ]

To Agra and Lahor of great Mogul

Th Empire of Negus to his utmost Port

Michael from Adams eyes the Filme removd

Had bred; then purgd with Euphrasie and Rue

Ercoco and the less Maritim Kings

By suffering, and earne rest from labour won, [ 375 ]

His Eye might there command wherever stood [ 385 ]

If so I may attai99ｌib.nｅｔn. So both ascend

Call El Dorado: but to nobler sights

To shew him all Earths Kingdomes and thir Glory.

Mombaza, and Quiloa, and Melind,

And Sofala thought Ophir, to the Realme [ 400 ]

However chastning, to the evil turne

Which that false Fruit that promisd clearer sight

City of old or modern Fame, the Seat

Of Cambalu, seat of Cathaian Can

The Kingdoms of Almansor, Fez and Sus,
