ON THE EMINENT DR. EDWARD BROWNE'S TRAVELS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thus from a foreign clime rich merchants come
Last Line: In subterranean cosmography.
Subject(s): Travel; Journeys; Trips


THUS from a foreign clime rich merchants come,
And thus unlade their rarities at home:
Thus undergo an acceptable toil,
With treasures to enrich their native soil.
They for themselves, for others you unfold
A cargo swoln with diamonds and gold.
With indefatigable travels, they
The trading world, the learned you, survey;
And for renown with great Columbus vie,
In subterranean cosmography.
