| | (From Don Juan)
A MIGHTY mass of brick, and smoke, and shipping, | |
| Dirty and dusky, but as wide as eye | |
| Could reach, with here and there a sail just skipping | |
| In sight, then lost amidst the forestry | |
| Of masts; a wilderness of steeples peeping | 5 |
| On tiptoe through their sea-coal canopy; | |
| A huge, dun cupola, like a foolscap crown | |
| On a fool’s head,—and there is London Town! | | | | |
