Casteth on thee the Moor eyne cold with fright, in whom his coming doom he views designèd:

  • The barb’rous Gentoo, sole to see thy sight yields to thy yoke the neck e’en now inclinèd;
  • Tethys, of azure seas the sovran right, her realm, in dowry hath to thee resignèd;
  • and, by thy noble tender beauty won, would bribe and buy thee to become her son.
