Much have I travel’d in the realms of gold,
And many goodly states and Kingdoms seen;
Round Many western Islands have I been,
Which Bards in fealty to Apollo hold.
But of one wide expanse had i been told
That deep-brow’d homer ruled as his demesne;

yes could i never judge what men could mean,

Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold,

When a new planet swims into hius ken;

or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
