Confine the vale, he reach’d those huts remote

Which should hereafter to the noble line

Of Soto origin and name impart:

A gallant lineage, long in fields of war

And faithful chronicler’s enduring page

Blazon’d: but most by him illustrated,

Avid of gold, yet greedier of renown,

Whom not the spoils of Atabalipa

Could satisfy insatiate, nor the fame

Of that wide empire overthrown appease;
