content The earth grand-parent to all things on earth Cold dry and heavie and the next beneath The ayre by Natures arme with low discents Is as it were intrencht againe ascents Mount vp to heaven by Ioues omnipotence Whose looming greenesse ioyes the Sea-mans sence Invites him to a land if he can see Worthy the Thrones of stately soveraigntie The fruitfull and well watered earth doth glad All hearts when Flora's with her spangles clad And yeelds an hundred fold for one To feede the Bee and to invite the drone O happie Planter if you knew the height Of Planters honours where ther 's such delight There Natures bounties though not planted are Great store and sorts of berries great and faire The Filberd Cherry and the fruitfull Vine Which cheares the heart and makes it more divine Earths spangled beauties pleasing smell and sight Objects for gallant choyce and chiefe delight A ground-Nut there runnes on a grassie threed Along the shallow earth as in a bed Yealow without thin filmd sweete lilly white Of strength to feede and cheare the appetite From these our natures may haue great content And good subsistance when our meanes is spent With these the Natiues doe their strength maintaine The Winter season which time they retaine Their pleasant vertue but if once the Spring Returne they are not worth the gathering All ore that Maine the Vernant trees abound Where Cedar Cypres Spruce and Beech are found Ash Oake and Wal-nut Pines and Iunipere The Hasel Palme and hundred more are there Ther 's grasse and hearbs contenting man and beast On which both Deare and Beares and Wolnes do feast Foxes both gray and blacke though blacke I never Beheld with Museats Lynces Otter Bever With many other which I here omit Fit for to warme vs and to feede vs fit The Fowles that in those Bayes and Harbours ●eede Though in their seasons they doe els-where breede Are Swans and Geese Herne Phesants Duck Crane Culvers and Divers all along the Maine The Turtle Eagle Partridge and the Quaile Knot Plover Pigeons which doe never faile Till Sommers heate commands them to retire And Winters cold begets their old desire With these sweete dainties man is sweetly fed With these rich feathers Ladies plume their head Here 's flesh and feathers both for vse and ease To feede adorne and rest thee if thou please The treasures got on earth by Titans beames They best may search that haue best art and meanes The ayre and earth if good are blessings rare But when with these the waters blessed are The place is compleat here each pleasant spring Is like those fountaines where the Muses sing The easie channels gliding to the East Vnlesse oreflowed then post to be releast The Ponds and places where the waters stay Content the Fowler with all pleasant prey Thus ayre and earth and water giue content And highly honour this rich Continent As Nature hath this Soile blest so each port Abounds with blisse abounding all report The carefull Naucleare may a-farre discry The land by smell ast loomes below the skie The prudent Master there his Ship may more Past winde and weather then his God adore Man forth each Shalop with three men to Sea Which oft returne with wondrous store of prey As Oysters Cra-fish Crab and Lobsters great In great abundance when the Seaes retreate Tort●ise and Herring Turbut Hacke and Base With other small fish and fresh bleeding Place The mightie Whale doth in these Harbours lye Whose Oyle the carefull Merchant deare will buy Besides all these and others in this Maine The costly Codd doth march with his rich traine With which the Sea-man fraughts his merry Ship With which the Merchant doth much riches get With which Plantations richly may subsist And pay their Merchants debt and interest Thus ayre and earth both land and Sea yeelds store Of Natures dainties both to rich and poore To whom if heavens a holy Vice-roy giue The state and people may most richly liue And there erect a Pyramy of estate Which onely sinne and Heaven can ruinate Let deepe discretion this great worke attend What 's well begun forth ' most part well doth end So may our people peace and plentie finde And kill the Dragon that would kill mankinde Those well seene Natiues in gra●e Natures hests All close designes conceale in their deepe brests What strange attempts so ere they doe intend Are fairely vsherd in till their last ende Their well advised talke evenly conveyes Their acts to their intents and nere displayes Their secret proiects by high words or light Till they conclude their end by fraud or might No former friendship they in minde retaine If you offend once or your loue detaine They 're wondrous cruell strangely base and vile Quickly displeasd and hardly reconcild Stately and great as read in Rules of state Incensd not caring what they perpetrate Whose hayre is cut with greeces yet a locke Is left the left side bound vp in a knott Their males small labour but great pleasure know Who nimbly and expertly draw the bow Traind vp to suffer cruell heate and cold Or what attempt so ere may make them bold Of body straight tall strong mantled in skin Of Deare or Bever with the hayre-side in An Otter skin their right armes doth keepe warme To keepe them fit for vse and free from harme A Girdle set with formes of birds or beasts Begirts their waste which gently giues them'ease Each one doth modestly binde vp his shame And Deare-skin Start-vps reach vp to the same A kinde of Pinsen keeps their feete from cold Which after travels they put off vp-fold Themselues they warme their vngirt limbes they rest In straw and houses like to sties distrest With Winters cruell blasts a hotter clime They quickly march to when that extreame time Is over then contented they retire To their old homes burning vp all with fire Thus they their ground from all things quickly cleare And make it apt great store of Corne to beare Each people hath his orders state and head By which they 'r rul'd taught ordered and lead The first is by discent their Lord and King Pleas'd in his name likewise and governing The consort of his bed must be of blood Coequall when an of-spring comes as good And highly bred in all high parts of state As their Commanders of whom they'rs prognate If they vnequall loues at hymens hand Should take that vulgar seede would nere command In such high dread great state and deepe decrees Their Kingdomes as their Kings of high degrees Their Kings giue lawes rewards to those they giue That in good order and high service liue The aged Widow and the Orphanes all Their Kings maintaine and strangers when they call They entertaine with kinde salute for which In homage they haue part of what 's most rich These heads are guarded with their stoutest men By whose advice and skill how where and when They enterprize all acts of consequence Whether offensiue
