ABSTRACT
VAriety and Novelty are the most pleasant Entertainments of Mankind, and if so, then certainly nothing can be more divertive than Relations of thisNew World,which as our English Laureat Sings, is so happy a Climate. As if ourOld Worldmodestly withdrew, And here in private had brought forth aNew. Here nature spreads her fruitful sweetness round, Breaths on the Air, and Broods upon the Ground; Here days and nights the only seasons be, The Sun no Climate does so gladly see, When forc’d from hence, to view our parts, he mourns, Takes little Journeys, and makes quick returns; Nay in this Bounteous, and this Blessed Land, The Golden Ore lies mixt with Common Sand, Each down fall of a flood the Mountains pour, From their Rich Bowels, rolls a Silver Shower; All lay conceal’d for many Ages past, And the best portion of the Earth was wast. 1
