CHAPTER XVI. 



EVENTS OF THE CAMPAIGN IN GUZEKAT, 



FROM THE EMBARKATION OF THE ENGLISH TROOPS AT BOMBAY 



TO THEIR JUNCTION WITH RAGOBAHS ARMY NEAR CAMBAY. 



Much is the good to India's sons assign'd, 

 Their wants are few, their wishes all confiii'd : 

 Yet let them only share the praises due ; 

 If few their wants, their pleasures are but few : 

 For every want that stimulates the breast, 

 Becomes a source of pleasure when redrest. 

 Whence, from such lands each pleasing science flies, 

 That first excites desire, and then supplies; 

 Unknown to them, when sensual pleasures cloy, 

 To fill the languid pause with finer joy; 

 Unknown those powers that raise the soul to flame, 

 Catch every nerve, and vibrate through the frame.
