_For the Table Book._

--------Stand still. How fearful

And dizzy ’tis to cast one’s eyes so low!

The crows and choughs, that wing the midway air

Show scarce so gross as beetles: half way down

Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade!

Methinks he seems no bigger than his head:

The fishermen that walk upon the beach

Appear like mice; and yon tall anchoring bark,

Diminish’d to her cock; her cock, a buoy,

Almost too small for sight: the murmuring surge,

That on the unnumber’d idle pebbles chafes,

Cannot be heard so high.--
