CHAPTER XXXVII. 



CONTINUATION OF THE JOURNEY FROM SURAT TO CALCUTTA, 

 CONTAINING THE TRANSACTIONS FROM OOJEN TO 



1785. 



" Let other lands the potent blessings boast 

 Of more exalting suns — Let India's woods, 

 Untended, yield the vegetable fleece : 

 And let the little insect artist form, 

 On higher life intent, its silken tomb. 



" From the prone beam let more delicious fruits 

 A flavour drink, that in one piercing taste 

 Bids each combine — Let Arabia breathe 

 Her spicy gales, her vital gums distil. 

 — Come, by whatever sacred name disguis'd, 

 Oppression, come ! and in thy works rejoice !"
