The Spanish Voyager, As His Caravel Ploughed The Adjacent Seas, Might Give Full Scope To His Imagination, And Dream That Beyond The Long, Low Margin Of Forest Which Bounded His Horizon Lay Hid A Rich Harvest For Some Future Conqueror; Perhaps A Second Mexico With Its Royal Palace And Sacred Pyramids, Or Another Cuzco With Its Temple Of The Sun, Encircled With A Frieze Of Gold. Haunted By Such Visions, The Ocean Chivalry Of Spain Could Not Long Stand Idle.
