Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Columbus: A Poem Columbus. - What Enigma, this, E´en Isabella´s jewels haste to solve? Spain had an empty coffer, but, for these, Whose flash of scorn, well, nigh, replenished it Nor, had Columbus sailed, or, not, from Spain But, for the epoch, by her jewels, made. Ten thousand crowns, besides, three caravels - Is not Columbus, mad, and Isabel? Half thought so, Ferdinand, with Arragon, As, he, who pushing France ward, on an ass, To Isabella´s plea, retraced his steps, To snatch a precious jewel, for Spain´s brow, She may not lose, to any accident, Its blaze, as constant as the polar star´s. Four centuries, ago, Queen Isabel Had pledged her jewels to a mariner´s Conceit, of nearer India: thence the crown Of Leon and Castile, flashed with more gems, Than, tears, Columbus shed t´ ingratitude, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
