—‘We pass o’er Africk’s sultry clime,

To where the Niger rolls his mighty stream

With doubtful current, whether bent his course

Or to the rising or the setting sun:

Till one advent’rous man, thro’ perils great

And toil immense, hunger, and thirst, and pain,

The question solved, and saw him eastward flow

Majestic through his woods.’

MILLIKIN’S _River-side_, Book III.
