Nor man I see, nor see I work, which shows
That man inhabits in this isle; nor I
See ship, in which (a refuge from my woes),
Embarking, I from hence may hope to fly.
* * * *nor any one to close
My eyes, or give me sepulture, be by.

Or tiger from beneath the greenwood tree,
Or other beast with teeth and claws: but how

“Jam jam ventures aut hâc aut suspicor illâc,
“Qui lanient avido viscera dente, lupos.
“Forsitan et fulvos tellus alat ista leones.
“Quis scit an hæc sævas tygridas insula habet?”
