The Columbiad A Poem PDF Download

Excerpt from The Columbiad: An Epic Poem on the Discovery of America and the West Indies by Columbus; In Twelve Books Tofs'd with the billows of the raging deep, Whole nights he fpent devoid of balmy fleep; While various paflions, that afflict mankind, Rag'd midfi his crews and vex'd his patient mind. 10 Much he endur'd on land, and much he bore, When all the dangers of the feas were o'er, Till Spain her yet untainted banners fpread, And San Domingo rais'd her parent head, Whence he th' Atlantic's rolling waves divides, And fraught with gold cuts Cadiz' gentle tides.
