"Fired by thy fame,[A] and with his King in ire To match thy deed, shall Magalhaes aspire. "Along the regions of the burning zone, To deepest South he dares the course unknown. "A land of giants shall his eyes behold, Of camel strength, surpassing human mould. "Beneath the Southern star's gold gleam he braves And stems the whirl of land-surrounded waves. "Forever movèd to the hero's fame, Those foaming straits shall bear his deathless name." CAMOËNS. [A] Vasco da Gama. PREFACE.
