36 If water then and shining gold

The rank of highest glory hold,

Even thus has virtuous Theron gain'd

The farthest point by man attain'd.

His fame has reach'd that distant land

Where the Herculean pillars stand.

Beyond this point who strives to sail,

Wise or unwise, can ne'er prevail—

No farther I pursue—my course is here restrain'd.
