    The more experience finds you: And go sparing;--
    One meal a week will serve you, and one suit,
    Through all your travels; for you'll find it certain,
    The poorer and the baser you appear,
    The more you look through still.

One who journeying
Along a way he knows not, having crossed
A place of drear extent, before him sees
A river rushing swiftly toward the deep,
And all its tossing current white with foam,
And stops and turns, and measures back his way.

When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.
