c10.9019

"Nor shalt thou 'scape the fate to fall his
prize,
albeit so wealthy, and so strong thy site
there on Aurora's bosom, whence thy rise,
thou Home of Opulence, Malacca hight!
The poysoned arrows which thine art
supplies,
the Krises thirsting, as I see, for fight,
th' enamoured Malay-men, the Javan
braves,
all of the Lusian shall become the slaves."
