  THE AZTEC PRINCESS,

  OR

  DESTINY FORESHADOWED.

  Rapacious Spain Followed her bold discoverer o'er the main; A rabid race, fanatically bold, And steeled to cruelty by lust of gold, Traversed the waves, the unknown world explored, The cross their standard, but their path the sword; Their steps were graves; o'er prostrate realms they trod, They worshipped Mammon, while they vowed to God.
