To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One charge, one shout, from the host rang out, On the plain they stand alone ; Let the forests ring while the mass we sing.
Ere the setting sun has flown. " 'o * A town taken by the Spaniards from the Moors in ;i nighi escalade.
No. IV. THE TEARS OF CORTES.
[An old Spanish chronicler says, that Cortes was filled with grief when he looked down from the high mountains of Tacuba upon the great city of Mexico, which he was about to storm. Its rich valley, hemmed in by rocks of porphyry; its wide la...kes, and below him rich groves of the cocoa and the sugar-cane, plantations of the aloe and the maize, productions of the tropics ; and by his side the oak, the pine, and the cypress of Europe. The incident seems to have made a deep impression upon the minds of the rude soldiers of Cortes, not incapable of deep feeling, for some frag- ments of a Spanish song, written at that time, are still preserved, and suggested the following ballad : — ] From Tacuba gazed Cortes, on the city beneath that lay With palace and temple gleaming bright in the sun's fierce scorching ray, With its thousand roofs that stretched afar, with grove and terrace wide, Hemmed in by the granite mountains that rise on every side.
