[4] By a curious _lapsus_ in Keat's otherwise perfect poem, _On First Looking into Chapman's Homer_, Cortés, conqueror of Mexico, is substituted for Balboa, discoverer of the Pacific-- "Then felt I like some watcher of the skies, When a new planet swims into his ken, Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise-- Silent, upon a peak in Darien." Cortés was never at Darien, nor nearer to it than Honduras, or Santo Domingo. End of Project Gutenberg's Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, by Frederick Albion Ober
