| | | O NEPTUNE! Neptune! must I still | |
| Be here detained against my will? | |
| Is this your justice when I ’m come | |
| Above two hundred miles from home, | |
| O’er mountains steep, o’er dusty plains, | 5 |
| Half choked with dust, half drowned with rains, | |
| Only your godship to implore | |
| To let me kiss your other shore? | |
| A boon so small! but I may weep | |
| While you ’re, like Baal, fast asleep. | 10 | | | |
