STAMBOU L.

BY

MRS. EDMUND HORNBY.

"The European with the Asian shore

Sprinkled with palaces: the ocean stream,
Here and there studded with a seventy-four;
Sophia's cupola with golden gleam;
The cypress groves; Olympus high and hoar;
The twelve isles, and more than I could dream,
Far less describe, present the very view

Which charmed the charming Mary Montagu."
