Evidence:
Robert Southey to Charles Watkin Williams Wynn, 19 July 1797: 'If you can get me any poetical information about the River of Amazons I shall be glad — but I must have no Amazons as Madoc was buried long before Orellana learnt to tell lies. Did you ever see Madame Godines melancholy account? I shall allude to it by & by.'
