- Go venture shipwreck on the sullen coasts Where blackamoors make captive Christian men; Go to the northern seas confined with ice Where the dead breath makes numb the hand* makes dull the brain; MURDER IN THE CATHEDRAL 903 Find an oasis in the desert sun, Go seek alliance with the heathen Saracen, To share his filthy rites, and try to snatch Forgetfulness in his libidinous courts, Oblivion in the fountain by the date-tree; Or sit and bite your nails in Aquitaine.†
