Chile

Chile, fértil provincia, y señalada en la region Antártica famosa, de remotas naciones respetada por fuerte, principal y poderosa: la gente que produce es tan granada, tan soberbia, gallarda y belicosa, que no ha sido por rey jamas regida, ni á extrangero dominio sometida.

Chile is a fertile province, well known and famous in the Antarctic region. Far-off nations respect it as strong, important and powerful. The people it produces are so fine, so proud, so gallant and so warlike that no king has ever ruled them, and they have never submitted to foreign rule.

Pues en este distrito demarcado, por donde su grandeza es manifiesta, está á treinta y seis grados el Estado que tanta gente extraña y propia cuesta: este es el fiero pueblo no domado que tuvo á Chile en tal estrecho puesta, y aquel que por valor y pura guerra hace en torno temblar toda la tierra.

In this land, whose greatness I have described, lies the State, at thirty-six degrees, that has cost so many lives, both strangers' and its own. These are the fierce people, never tamed, who put Chile in such great danger, and who by courage and sheer war make all the land around them tremble.
