A hermit not far distance hence, he said A lonely rock inhabits in this sea;
Whose isle none, seeking succour, vainly tread, Whether for counsel or for aid it be:
Who hath done superhuman deeds; the dead Restores to life; and makes the blind to see;
Hushes the winds; and with a sign o' the cross Lulls the loud billows when they highest toss;
