Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hyperborea, or the Pilgrims of the Pole
Let us yet sing, the while the theme invites, The pilgrims of the pole. Ye muses, ye That seldom have indwelt the extreme north, Will ye accompany My verse invokes Your timely and your never-faltering aid.
First of the numerous list who sought that realm Was Cabot, Venice-born, but sailing 'neath Brittania's banner, second he alone To the great Genoan who the new world found, In maritime supremacy; the next He was to sail that shore; the northern half Of that new region was he first to touch.
