ACT I.
SCENE I. — Uall of Audience in King Ferdinand' s Palace. King, Queen, and an entire pack of court cards, discovered.
Complimentary Chorus, ["Gustavits,"] hy the courtiers, enth%itiasii$ and ecomiastic, as in duty hound. Hail ! oh, king of Arragon ! Reign ! oh, princely paragon ! • Down upon your marrowbone,
Long live the king 1 jNIonarch mightier is he, sir. Than Joe Smith or Julius Caesar, Brigham Young or Nebuchudnezzar,
Long live the king ! And hail to Isabella, too. For she's a right good fellow, too, And a right good tune to bellow to,
Is long live the queen I Shfi's fairer than the fairest fairy, Sweeter than the Scottish Mary, Nymph or Nereiad there's n'ary One like our queen.
[Cheers from the adminisiraiion. King. This cheering fire, defenders of the great, Is grateful to our royal tympanum, of late Elated by our victories among Those mongrel Moors, to hear our praises sung We've had no time ; but now the wars are ended, And in the usual way, our faith defended, That is by slaying every slavish minion Who dares to difter with us in opinion.
ft coLUJir.us.
Althongli by proxy those great deeds were done,
We think we've earned the right to have some funj
So loud let every office-holder shout,
Or else ve'll send them to the right about.
[The several sticks shout accordingly
Louder, you puddiri' heads, aldermen and all.
Or else our city hall we'll overhaul,
And cut your heavy jobs and contracts down,
And then we'll see who'll represent the town.
Tell us what news is stirring in the city 1 Fonseca. So please you, sire, the Vigilance Commiltee
A foolish foreigner this day has found.
Who swears, confound him, that the world is round,
And swings, on what the fellow calls its axis,
Just once a year. King. He's thinking of the taxes. Fonseca. It taxes both credulity and patience
To listen to the mountebank's relations. Queen. Perhaps he's right — let's ask him here to sup,
There may be something in
King. My love, shut up.
Fonseca. But that's not all he says.
King. I want to know.
What does he say 1 Fonseca. He says, my liege, below
There is a corresponding half-world
King. We know better
For did it correspond we'd have a letter.
We've nothing from that latitude, in fine
We hav'n't had an equinoctial line —
So it's all bosh. Queen. 'Twould be as well to hear
The man himself. —
King. Now, don't you interfere.
Fonseca. And more than this — your majesty will laugh,
Of course — the fool asserts, the other half
Has mountains, vallies, seas, just like our own ;
With men and women
King. What, turned upside down I
Strange kind of man, to think mankind, like flies,
Could in such strange position stand — he lies. Fonseca. But, above all, the chap maintains that gold
And precious gems lie there iu heaps untold. Queen. What, diamonds 1 Fonseca. And pearls of countless price,
Rubies and amethysts. Queen. Take my advice
And look into this matter. King. You look out ;
Bell, liold your tongue — we know what we're about.
COLUMBUS.
Let some one sunmion liere this foreign catifl
Who thus presumes to know more than a native.
Hast lieard his name " Fernando de Talevera. Columbus.
King. That's a dove.
Queen. I like it — 'tis the type of peace and love —
You called me so at first. King. Be quiet, do ;
Don't talk, my dove, until you head your coo.
Who is this pigeon "? Fernando. I saw him hawking
Some maps and charts ; sad and fatigued witli walking,
He rested on a convent step — his son
Lay near him, hunger-pinciied and wan
With weakness — yet the heartless crowd passed on,
Even without the tribute of a sigh.
At length, a poor friar, himself not overfed,
Gave to the wanderers a loaf of bread.
The gift was timely, yet tiie proud man's soul,
I plainly saw, revolted at the dole,
Although 'twas thankfully received. He woke
The famine-stricken boy, and quickly broke
The loaf in two — one half the lad received,
And with such ravenous haste — it deeper grieved
The sorrowing man. I read his anxious fears; • I saw the dry crust moistened with his tears,
And turned away dimsighted and heart-sick. King. I'll take my oath that friar was a brick.
He's poor, it seems, despite of all his pains —
Then, ten to one, the fellow's cursed with brains.
If so, rU steal 'era, for mere brains alone are
Seldom any use to the first owner.
[Laughing heard wi-'houi

King. Go, bring him in — and now we'll pump him dryer Than the dry crust he got from that same friar.
Queen. Unworthy thought.
King. Bell, if there's any tiu,
You'll tintinnabvdate — I mean ring in. If there's a chance, the main one you won't lose, But caution and precaution both we'll use. We'll see this mariner — if aught accrues From his projected cruise, we won't reject it. But with the glory of our reign connect it. By our own royal judgment we'll abide, And if we find him slippery, let him slide.
Fa/^seca. I hope your majesty will deign to pause.
Before this man, who scouts our mundane laws, You thus encourage — our estate it shocks Tliat he should trifle with the orthodox. The church has settled that the world is flat.
K'.ig. There cannot be the slightest doubt of that.
He comes — don't fear, we'll find out his intent?.
Enter Columbus, peddling stationery.
Ocl. Twenty-five maps of the world for four cents.
King. Who are you, stranger, that with daring speech
A new cosmogany presume to teach 1 Col. A ci-devant poor flat-boat captain, sire.
Kinq. Flat broke 'twould seem to judge from your attire.
Go on, unfold yourself, pay out. Col. My lord, I will.

COLUMBUS. 4
BioGi-iAPHic Cantata. Introductory Recitative.
Mio simplissima storio dost thou requesto, Oh give earo unto mi relazioni, But if this foreign lingo, you cannot digesto I'll try the purissimo Anglo Saxoni.
Aria Familiaria.
My name it is Columbus, I was born in Genoa
Of poor but honest parents, so the story always goes. My father was a mariner, and he mar-ri-ed my mother there,
And I was the oifspring as you may readily suppose. Sweet infancy's days when the brain very little wit is in,
As is mostly the case passed unconciously bj'e, Oh ray parent's expected I'd become a steady sober citizen,
But I was bound to be a sailor boy, by jingo, or die.
For many a long j'car I have plough'd the wild ocean.
And many strange notians and natives have seen, But now in my head I have got a sort of notion
That there's some place else somewhere that aint been seen yet. To find this place out is the only thing I live for,
Ambition and fame in that single path lie Just to help me along some assistance pray give, for
I'm bound to find Columbia, by jingo, or die !
King. What is't youv'e got within your silly brain 1 Col. A Main land, sire, there is beyond the Main.
Fonseca. Let it remain there. King. Stop a minute —
We'll hear him talk, there may be something in it. Queeyi. Pearls and rubies grow tliere, we are told 1 — King. Now do be quiet ; — aye, and lots of gold. Col. I'm almost weary, sire, of telling o'er
To Princes all the gifts I have in store,
For him who will accept the golden key,
And will for such a chance my patron be.
To my own land I fain would give the prize.
But there Avas no speculation in their eyes.
And not a real but to realise
My ardent Spirit's hope's, would they advance,
French leave I took of them, and unto France
Laden witli gall, pursued my weary way.
But the great Lewis had by reckless play
Collapsed his treasury, for like a stoker
The British King had singed him at drawpoker,
The winning King I tried, while he was Hush,
But for my suit he did'nt care a rush,
8 . COLUMBU?.
Now sad and broken down, I've wandered liere, Without one ray luy onward path to clieer — The street my lodging and tlie stones my bed, An airy lodging for I've 'nary red ! Fonscca. Audacious peddler ! what is this we hear — You say our World is but a hemisphere, And there's another somewhere under ground That joined with it goes alway's bobbing round. Ckil. This earth's a globe.
Kinq. Well, that's a round assertion-
Then tell us, if you please, just for diversion, What does it rest on 'I Col. Circumambient sjiace — King. Circum-flddlesticks — you are a case !
And what's the reason that it doesn't drop 1 Col. In endless revolution like a top
It sleeps, — thus exquisitely poised in air By equalized attraction. Tonscca. Fool — beware !
We canot listen to such words as these, The stake has blazed for lighter lieresies ! Kinq. A lunatic — there's not a doubt of that — But in the meal-tub there may be a cat. Queen. Pour man ! We must do something for him. Kinfjf. Stay I
Wait 'till we find out if the thing will pay, Friend Clnistopher, we're sorry for your plight, But pledge our roynl word to make it right If to our realm you'll add some foreign nation, Rich and disposed to stand extreme taxation, Prove you can do this, so that none can doubt it, And we shall give you — leave to set about. Col. But, sire, my scheme needs money.
King. Well, then share it-
Get \\\) a joint stock and don't over-" hear" it. Col. Craft I must have to sail in.
King- '' Qnantum suf."
Once you're in Wall street, you'll find craft enough, You dreamy fellow's, that don't know the ropes Sit down and starve ui)on your empty hopes, While sharper dunces tlu'ive. Col. I fain would know
The way. King. To raise the wind you'll have to " blow," AVe'll call our conqjany — " tlie Anli-Fanic Perpetual Gold I'toducing Oceanic," And true de facto hicli old " Life and Trust — " Bound in due time to spread itself — Col. And bust.
King. Of coursr', but not till wo go in snd win,
Capital we'll call five millions to begin. Col. I shall not need a third.
King. Oh ! have no fears, —
We must provide for fast clerks and cashiers,
Armies of " Blowers"- -" Runners" and " Advisers"—
" Committees" — " Lobbyers" and " Advertisers" —
And for your president a small gratuity.
Some thirty thousand would'nt hurt us. Col. Query !
King. You would'nt go below our friends in Erie — ■ Col. j\Iy aspirations, sire, you only mock
Who would be fools enough to take such stock ; King. Who, Sir 1 — Why everybody ! what stupidity,
If you but nicely tickle their cupidity !
I'll prove it in an instant. Ho ! a Court !
[The court malies an immediate advance
My lords, we're going to make you a report
Of the first meeting for consolidaiion,

From ice boniui lr<acts to where the tropic sun
Breeds in the teeming ooze strange monstrous things-
I see upswelling from exhanstless springs,
Great lakes appear upon whose surface wide
The banded navies of the earth may ride,
I see tremendous cataract's emerge
From cloud aspiring heights, whose slipperj' verge
Tremendous ocean's momently roll o'er,
Assaulting with unmitigated roar
The stunned and shattered ear of trembling day
That wounded, .weeps in glistening tears of spray !
King. We grieve your sensibility to shock,
See something else or down will go our stock.
Col. I see upspringing from the fruitful breast
Of the Vjeneficent and boundless West, Uncounted acres of life-giving grain, Wave o'er the gently undulating plain, So tall each ))lade that you can scarcely touch The top !
King. Ah ! now, my blade, you sec too much.
Col. Within the limits of the southern zone
I see i)lantations, thickly overgrown With a small shrub in whose white flower lies A revenue of millions !
King. You surprise
Us now, M-e'll cotton to that tree ! Go on, old fellow, what else do you see 1
Col. Some withered weeds —
King. Pooh !
Col. From which men can evoke
Profit as wonderful 1
King. From what 1
Col. From smoke.
King. Ah, now you're in the clouds again. Good gracious I Think of the stock, and don't be so fugacious.
Col. I see a river, through whose limpid stream,
Pastolus like, the yellow pebbles gleam ; Flowing through regions, where great heaps of gold, Uncared for, lie in affluence untold. Thick as autumnal leaves, the precious store.
King. My eyes ! why didn't you see that before 1 We'll go ourself, we mean we shall " go in." Go on.
Col. - I see small villages begin,
Like twilight stars, to peep forth timidly,
Great distances apart ; and now I see
Towns, swol'n to cities, burst upon the sight,
Thick as the crowded firmament at night.
I see brave science, with inspired soul,
Subdue the elements to its control ;

The varied points of universal space.
Thought answers thought, though scores of miles between —
Time is outstripped
We're not so jolly green. My friend, come, ain't you getting rather steep 1 We beg to probability you'll keep. What see you now 1
The plethora of wealth Corrupt and undermine the general health. I see vile madd'ning fumes incite to strife, Obscure the sense and whet the murderer's knife.
I see dead rabbits
That's enough — give o'er ; It won't be prudent to see any more. You've evidently over-taxed your head — Just take a whiskej' skin and go to bed. Meantime, we give our royal approbation To your grand scheme of general annexation , And that in stealing gold you may not cease, Receive the order of the "Golden Fleece." I must keep dark — of course you have the " nous" To pass judiciously the custom house. It will be hard, I know, to put the blinders Upon the new marshall Don Isaiah Rynders.

We'll give you the command, And you can start at once.
I'll be on hand At any moment, sire, that you propose — My trunk is packed, when I put on my clothes.

CoLUMBDS enters iviih a nightcap, which, in a moment of abstraction, he swalloivs.
Col. I've made a precious bargain here, I swear —
This downey king expects the lion's share And hasn't taken one, the common way In which the poor world- worker gets his pay. On one side, enterprise, toil, danger, death ! And on the other, mouthfuls of mere breath. A vain man — worshipped, transitory name, But ah ! to sparkle in the heaven of fame Eternal as itself, and life outlast, Slill ever-present in the living past. To think one's memory may iill unsought A Sovran throne within the realm of thought. When piled up centuries their shadow flings Across the records of forgotten kmgs; What to such destiny are earthly joys ?

King. Friend Christopher, you're making too nuicli noise ;
Please to remember this is not an inn. Col I beg your jiardon, sire, it was the gin ;
By that, and your kind ]n-omises elated,
I own I did feel somewhat elevated. King. Well, just blow off your froth and settle down. 'Exit.
13
Col. All lij^lit, j-our majesly. Oh, great renown,
What slights aspiring poverty endures That tlirou2;li such patrons the great prize secures ; It riles me even now, to think this thing In after ages to my fame will cling, And like dead fruit upon the living tree, Hang on to my green immortality. Could this mean king, unless by my deserving. Awake the genius of a Prescott or an Irving! There's no use moralizing now, because Wliat will be will be, as what has been was. And talking of what will be — a strange thought .lust crossed my mind wiih difficulty fraught : If some small scribbler, in a future day, Should try to weave my story in a play, I'm curious now to know what he would do For female interest to carr.y through His plot, if any, for inij ivife's at home; I couldn't ask her majesty to roam Amongst my rude adventures — I guess He'll find himself in a delightful mess. He'll want a heroine, the rules despotic — Hollo ! that gin, by jingo, is narcotic. [Yawns.
Where can he find one! Out of some French play, No doubt; that will be, then, the usual way. French thought, French plot, French wit, French moral, cast, And published, probably, by French, at last. I'm going — going — gone. [Sleeps.

Colum. Columbus, wake !
Col. Hollo, ma'm, who arc you, for gracious sake —
Attired in such extraordinary guise 1 Colum. It's strange you should exhibit such surprise.
Don't you know your own child 'I Col. I'm not so wise
A father. Colum. No ! nor yet old Uncle Sam 1 Col. Haven't the honor.
Colum. Well, his niece I am,
In fact the genius of the mighty land
On which will rest your name and fame. Col. I understand.
You're Hail Columbia, then — well, I declare,
I'm very glad to see you — take a chair. Colum. ' Excuse me. Col. From your cap and spangled bodice,
I took you first for Crawford'.s sculptured Goddess. Colvm And so I am — myself and Liberty

Cot Thus, undivide'l nia3' you ever be.
Colum. I feel obliged.
Col. Pray tell me, if you please.
Are you that same liberty Demosthenes
So thundered for, until the cute invader
Beneath the patriot espied the trader,
And putting golden pebbles, it is said,
Into his mouth, shut up his noisy head 1 <7olum, Alas, I am, and you need not be told
That by such patriots I'm always sold. Col. Likely enough ; but may I make so bold
As most respectfully to ask, what is it
Produces me the honor of this visit 1 Cohim. Of course you know you're sleeping in that chair 1 Col. I did riot realize the fact, I swear.
But if you say that
Colum. I assure you.
Col. Oh !
It's quite enough for you to tell me so. Colum. You wish to know, then, why I made this call 1
Col. If not too much to ask
Colum. Oh, not at all.
You were just now much puzzled in your mind
In wondering where a dramatist could find
A heroine
Col. Yes, I remember.
Colum. Look at me —
I mean, with you, to cross the Western Sea. Col. But what induces you so far to roam 1
Colum Simply the wish to reach my future home
As quickly as I can. By adverse fate
Compelled reluctantly to emigrate,
My business here is virtually ended.
The firm of " Freedom & Company" in fact suspended. Col. I'm sorry to hear that — 'twas my belief
That your investments here were just as safe
As — the Bank of England, I was going to say,
But lately that comparison won't pay. Colum But see, 'tis morning — your effects are stored,
The ship awaits us — shall we go on board 1
Conveying Liberty, that humble bark
Unharmed shall ride, and like the primal ark,
AVhere its keel rests another world arise,
And Freedom hang its shingle on the skies. Col. Are my prophetic visions, then, so near
Fulfilment 1 Oh, I feel uncommon queer;
Is it ambition so distracts my head,
Or last night's "tod" before I went to bedl Colum Courage, Columbus ; you have scenes of strife
Before you — even periling your lifa

But I'll be with you in the hour of need. Col. I'm very much obhged to you. indeed —
Thankful such guardianship to have secured.
Between ourselves my ship is not insured. Colum. I'll take the risk. Behold our banner spread ! {Displays flag.
Protection dwells within its folds. Col. " Nuf ced."
I'm game to follow that, so go ahead.
Song — Columbus. " Star- Spangled Banner,^^ Oh, say, shall I see, ere my soul takes its flight,
Though the last ray of life should be fitfully gleaming, A new country arise, on whose banner of light
Freedom's sons may behold the bright heaven of their dreaming Should a factious hand dare Its proud folds to impair. May it ^vithering fall, and Columbia still bear Her own star-spangled banner, forever to wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And some amusement very sadly need. Fon. Sire, I'm your soul's physician, solely, so,
AVhat medicine to prescribe I hardly know,

Yo'i know the squalling's only au excuse.
The whole affair you may depend upon its
Only an opening show of new spring bonnets. Fon. A play perhaps might quicken your sensations. King. I'm sick of local plays and French translations. Fon. The model artistes — King. [ Virtuously indignant] What 1 Fo7i. Not as ovignally
Shown, but etherialized — there's a new ballet. King. No, no, I'm tired of their old Grandpas,
And can't translate their jumps and entrechats. Fonseca. Some painting's have arrived, sir, which are said
To be superior. Kiny. Is the artist dead 1
Fonseca. Not yet, my liege, I think. King. Ah, that's a pity w
They won't sell 'till he is, in this great city. Fonseca. I scarce know what amusement to propose —
Were you in temper for exciting shows
We might go hear the aldermen debate.
Or the police commissioners dilate
On party straws, while through the city's walks
High-handed rowdyism rampant stalks. King. Be good enough to change the conversation
We cannot help the city's situation,
If it's inhabitants don't watch the game
And see all's fair, they've but themselves to blame
Rule or mis-rule depends upon their voice
They pay's their money and they has their choice,
Can you suggest no kind of recreation
To quell this hypochandriac sensation 1 Fonseca Well, let's see. Sire— if you have the leisure
You might; oambining piety and pleasure.
