Johann Matthias Haas Asian Continent: |
Haas, Circa 1730Click image for larger view. |
A heart thrice wall'd with Oke, and Brasse, that man
Had, first, durst plow the Ocean.
But thou at home without or tyde or gale,
Canst in thy Map securely saile:
Seeing those painted Countries; and so guesse
By those fine Shades, their Substances:
And from thy Compasse taking small advise,
Buy'st Travell at the lowest price.
by Robert Herrick
