To Asia
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Blest Region, where my sacred Saviour walkt,
And God with man in flowery Eden talkt,
I reverence thy soyle, preferring thee,
The worlds fourth part, before the other three,
Though vast America against my straine
Swell with proud hills of gold, and high disdaine.
