began shouting, 'Suelta mi, Ingles!' (Let me go, Englishman!)--or,
as others have it, 'Valga mi, Ingles!' (Take ransom for me,
Englishman!)--which name the palm bears unto this day.

So Raleigh, having, as one historian of Trinidad says, 'acted like a
tiger, lest he should savour of the ass,' went his way to find El
Dorado, and be filled with the fruit of his own devices: and may
God have mercy on him; and on all who, like him, spoil the noblest
instincts, and the noblest plans, for want of the 'single eye.'

But before he went, he 'called all the Caciques who were enemies to
the Spaniard, for there were some that Berreo had brought out of
other countreys and planted there, to eat out and waste those that
were natural of the place; and, by his Indian interpreter that he
had brought out of England, made them understand that he was the
servant of a Queene, who was the great Cacique of the North, and a
virgin, and had more Caciques under her than there were trees in
that island; and that she was an enemy to the Castellani in respect
of their tyranny and oppression, and that she delivered all such
nations about her as were by them oppressed, and, having freed all
the northern world from their servitude, had sent me to free them
also, and withal to defend the country of Guiana from their invasion
and conquest. I showed them her Majesty's picture' (doubtless in
ruff, farthingale, and stomacher laden with jewels), 'which they so
admired and honoured, as it had been easy to make them idolatrous
thereof.'

And so Raleigh, with Berreo as prisoner, 'hasted away toward his
proposed discovery,' leaving the poor Indians of Trinidad to be
eaten up by fresh inroads of the Spaniards.
