The mountain's entrails offered to his view
And trembling grasp the long-deferred reward.[534]
Not with more transport did Columbus greet
A world, his rich discovery![HF] But our Swain,
A very hero till his point was gained,
Proved all unable to support the weight
Of prosperous fortune. On the fields he looked
With an unsettled liberty of thought,
Wishes and endless schemes; by daylight walked[535]
Giddy and restless; ever and anon
