She had beauty in her way, and a kind of innocence both frank and shy.

She was like a doe in the green forest, come silently upon at dawn.
Fed full of marvel at last, these Indians left us.

But no sooner had they reached land and told of great kindness on the part of the inhabitants of heaven than other canoes and other swimmers put forth.
This might go on all day, so we checked it by ourselves going ashore.
This day we filled our water casks and took aboard much fruit and all the cakes that they brought us.

Moreover we explored the island, finding two villages of a piece with the first, and in the middle land a fair pool of water.

This day like yesterday was blissful wine.
All blessed Christopherus Columbus.
