Quinquerime

Quinquerime of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine.
With a cargo of ivory and apes and peacocks.
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus.
Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores.
With a cargo of diamonds, emeralds, amythysts.
Topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.
