Was the famous Columbus that found the spot out;
He brav’d ev’ry billow, rock, quicksand, and shore,
To steer thro’ the passage none ere steer’d before.
Toll de roll, &c.
Kind Nature, ere Adam had push’d off to sea,
Bid him be of good cheer, for his pilot she’d be:
Then his cables he slipp’d, and stood straight for the Bay,
But was stopp’d in his passage about the midway.
Toll de roll, &c.
Avast! Adam cry’d, I’m dismasted, I doubt,
