	Ceylon ! Ceylon ! 't is nought to me How thou wert known or named of old, As Ophir, or Taprobane, By Hebrew king, or Grecian bold:— To me thy spicy-wooded vales, Thy dusky sons, and jewels bright, But image forth the far-famed tales— But seem a new Arabian night. And when engirdled figures crave Heed to thy bosom's glittering store— 1 see Aladdin in his cave ; I follow Stndbad on,the shore. Miss Jewsbury.
