OF CASTILE:

OR,

THE VOYAGE TO CATHAY.

BY THE AUTHOR OF

"THE BRAVO," "THE HEADSMAN," "THE LAST
OF THE MOHICANS," &c.

I fill this cup, to one made up of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex the seeming paragon;

To whom the better elements and kindly stars have given
A form so fair, that, like the air, 't is less of earth than heaven.
