Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poems of William Cowper, Vol. 2
Impede the bark that ploughs the deep serene, Charged with a freight transcending in its worth The gems of India, Nature's rarest birth, That ?ies, like Gabriel on his Lord's commands, A herald of God's love to pagan lands!
But ah! What wish can prosper, or what prayer, For merchants rich in cargoes of despair.
