So geographers, in Afric-maps, With savage-pictures fill their gaps; And o'er unhabitable downs Place elephants for want of towns.

So geographers, in Afric-maps, With savage-pictures fill their gaps; And o'er unhabitable downs Place elephants for want of towns.

所以地理学家们，在非洲地图上，用原始的图片来填补他们的空白;在不适宜居住的高地上，大象因缺少城镇而四处游荡。
