Excerpt from The New Tale of a Tub: An Adventure in Verse
The Orient day was fresh and fair, A breeze sang soft in the ambient air, Men almost wondered to find it there, Blowing so near Bengal; Where waters bubble as boiled in a pot, And the gold of the sun spreads melting hot, And there's hardly a breath of wind to be got At any price at all! Unless, indeed, when the great Simoom Gets up from its bed with the voice of doom; And deserts no rains e'er drench, Rise up and roar with a dreadful gust, Pillars of sand and clouds of dust Rushing unsifted, and rapid to burst, And filling all India's throat with a thirst That its Ganges couldn't quench!
