Here is a poem by my fourth great grandfather. I don't think he was a very good poet, but Robert Southey, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Walter Scott knew him and praised his work, acording to this: oufcnt2.open.ac.uk Thy awful height Bolerium is not loved By busy Man, and no one wanders there Save He who follows Nature: he who seeks Amidst thy craigs and storm-beat rocks to find The marks of changes teaching the great laws That raised the globe from Chaos. Or He whose soul Is warm with fire poetic, He who feels When Nature smiles in beauty, or sublime Rises in majesty. He who can stand Unaw’d upon thy summit clad in tempests And view with raptured mind the roaring deep Rise o’er thy foam-clad base, while the black cloud Bursts with the fire of Heaven. From: Davy, Extract from an unfinished poem on MOUNT’s-BAY, c.1796.
