The black Caffrarian from the stormy Cape,
Incessantly by waves and tempests beat;
The Ethiopian with his sceptred ape,
And Guinea's sons, of hue more black than jet,
The Scythian from Riphaean mountains wet,
Where dreary winter holds eternal reign,
Where shines the bear in ocean ne'er to set;
The Sar'zan bands of Afric and of Spain,
And the redoubted sons of utmost Taprobane.
