CHAPTER XL 
A VOYAGE FROM BOMBAY TO ANJENGO; 
CONTAINING A DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL SETTLEMENTS 
ON THE COAST OF MALABAR, 
1772.. 
As Egypt does not on the clouds rely. 
But to the Nile owes more than to the sky ; 
So what the earth, and what the heaven, denies 
To Albion’s favour’d isle, the sea supplies. 
The taste of hot Arabia’s spice we know. 
Free from the scorching sun that makes it grow ; 
Without the worm, in Persian silks we shine ; 
And, without planting, drink of every vine. 
To dig for wealth we weary not our limbs; 
Gold, though the heaviest metal, hither swims: 
Ours is the harvest where the Indians mow ; 
We plough the deep, and reap what others sow, Wallejr.
