such iieight no earthly shepherd fits : Content we here, low in this humble vale. On slender reeds to sing a slender tale. A little boat will need as little sail and gale.
IV. The third precinct, the best and chief of all, Though least in compass and of narrow space, Was therefore fram'd, like Heav'n, spherical, Of largest figure and of loveliest grace : 54 THE PURPLE ISLAND.
Though shap'd at first the *lea9t of all the tliree ; Yet hig-hest set in place, as in degree ; And over all the rest bo...re rule and sovereignty.
V. So of three parts, fair Europe is the least, In which this earthly ball was first divided ; Yet stronger far, and nobler than the rest. Where victory and learned arts resided ; Ahdj by the Greek and Roman monarchy, Sway'd both the rest ; now press'd by slavery Of Moscow^ ind the big-swoll'n Turkish tyranny.
VI. Here all the fsenses dwell, and all the arts : Here learned Muses by their silver spring : The tcily sever'd in two divers parts, Witiiin the walls, an4 suburbs neighbouring ; The suburbs girt but with the coi]»mon fence, Founded with wondrous skill and great expence j And therefore beauty here, keeps her chief residence.
