There is a ruby here beyond price, large as a man's two fists and a well of red fire.

But what I should think most of would be to stand where Adam laid him down .-- Now from the Island of Zeilan I sail across the India sea.

And I go still south, three hundred leagues, and I find the great island of Madagascar whose people are Saracens and there is the rukh-bird that can lift an elephant, and they cut the red sandal there and find ambergris.

Then lifteth Zanzibar whose women are monsters and where the market is in elephant teeth.

And so I come at last to the extremity of Africa which Bartholomew Diaz found--my brother, Don Bartholomew being with him--and named Good Hope.
