shew like countenaunce At Pettislego drench'd him in the seaes Thus most she hurts when most she seemes to please O tempt not Fortune shee will not be tempted Her thunder followes when her lightning's donne Her dangers are fore-seene but not prevented When shee doth frowne thinke shee will smile anone And when shee smiles thinke not her frownes are gone What doth her laughter but her lowr's importune Misfortune followes him that tempteth fortune Aske the Wingandicoa savages They can relate of GRINVILE and his deedes The Iles of Flores and Azores these Extol his valour and victorious meedes While Spaines grip't hart fresh streams of anguish bleeds His worth withall the world his praise made even But he scorn'd earth and therefore went to heaven What time out-sliding thought so far could flie As did heroique CAVENDISH drive his sailes The great Magores kingdome did he see Where freezing Boreas rings his northern peales Gainst whose benumming blast no heate availes His prowesse hath beene knowne to Mallaca And to her neighbour-bord'ring Bengala Knighted by honour in deserts faire field Death-scorning GILBERT chronicled by fame To Englands Monarchesse did force to yeeld The savage lande that New-found now we name Making wilde people milde submisse and tame O were mens lives unto their praises tied Then noble GILBERT never hadst thou died But cursed fates did crosse brave CHIDLIES thought O that brave thoughts by fates still cross'd should be Nothing but worth his hungrie humour sought Nothing but honours Nectar thirsted hee When death untimely did exact his fee But CHIDLIE that which death took frō thy daies Honour shall adde to thine immortall praise If searching labyrinths inextricable By hard adventures and ambiguous waies To purchase glorie and renowne be able And meritorious of eternall praise Then FROBISHER out-lives the Sybils daies What death tooke from his life this gives his name Death hath no dart to slaie deserved fame Out of the concave cavern's of the earth Her golden-oared entrals he descri'd Exiling famine povertie and dearth These precious bowels having once espi'd Where massie gold ingorged did abide He recompensed natures iniurie That gives earth gold and leaves men povertie Rich China and faire Met ' Incognita Admir'd his valour and extold his fame Cathaia and the great America The dangerous straights that yet doe bear his name Are monumentall annals of the same Annals wherein posteritie shall reade How fame the living salves revives the dead Now drop my pen in inke of drery teares A name of late of laughter and of ioye But now ô death the agent of our feares A name of dolour and of dire annoye The sad memoriall of the fates destroye HAVVKINS ô now my hart cleave thou a sunder In naming him me seemes I name a wonder Epitome of Gods heavens conterfaire Fames Pyramis honours imagerye Highe throne wherein all vertues made their seate True prospective of immortalitie Faire mirrour of celestiall maiestie White palme whose silver boughes inharbour'd rest Snowe-feath'red swan the Nestor of the West Nestor in wisedome art and pollicie Nestor in knowledge skyll and prudencie Nestor in counsell and in gravitie Nestor in wit fore-sight and modestie Nestor in might and magnanimitie O would he had as he had Nestors haires Enioyed Nestors age and Nestors yeares A mortall man more then a man of late If mortall man more then a man maie be Since his lifes calender is out of date And deaths new-yeare exactes his custom'd fee No more a man nor mortall now is hee No more a man because of breath bereaven Mortall no more because a saint in heaven CLIFFORD a name that still was ominous Prefiguring an high-resolved minde Victorious vent'rous vertuous valorous Eternall adiunctes to that noble kinde By natures secret influence assign'd Who can denie that names are ominous For CLIFFORDS name hath still beene valorous O had he perish'd in his enterprise As did th' inventour of that brasen beast Who first that fatall engin did devise The dismall Gunne the actour of unrest Whose thunder-bolts do pearce the strongest brest O had he perish'd in his mothers wombe And that which gave him life had beene his tombe Now is the consummation of your griefe The fates have set full period to your paine He who on earth was all your hearts reliefe Whose absence you in heaven it selfe did plaine If plaints attach them that in heaven remaine In heaven is now associate of your ioie Your glad our griefe your pleasure our annoie You whose exploites the world it selfe admired Admire the strange exploites of peereles DRAKE And you whom nether lands nor sea's have tired Have tir'd your tongues when they rehearsall make What hard adventures he did undertake Then if that such Atlantes are too weake What marvell if this waight our shoulders breake O you once matchlesse monarches of the seas But now advanced to an higher place Invested Vice-roy's and high Satrapes In that faire palace neere the milken race O thinke not that his praise doth yours deface If he be iustlie prais'd you iustlie graced Your graces by his praise are not defaced What though his worth above yours is extold Yet thereby is not yours extenuated What though your neighbours iewels dearer sold Than for the price whereat your gemme is rated What thereby is your Diamond abated Wherefore to give both him and you your due I saie he was the best the next were you Like as some travel-tired passenger By silent-sliding Thames rose-shadow'd side Poore care-accloyed pilgrime traveler Sits downe to view the sight-reviving slide The wanton-bubling waters gentle glide Smiling to see the rivers quav'ring flankes Dallie upon the daysie-diap'red bankes Thus while he feasteth both his eies and eares With native musicke sweeter then a mans Like to a showre of silver snowe appeares A flight of alabaster-feath'red swans Whose number while his sence amasing scans Forth-with an other flight his minde doth comber And thus doth number bring him out of number So in the May-tide of his sommer age Valour enmov'd the minde of ventious DRAKE To lay his life with winds and waves in gage And bold and hard adventures t' undertake Leaving his countrie for his countr●'s sake Loathinge the life that cowardise doth staine Preferting death if death might honour gaine At Cuba silver at Coquimbo gold At China cloth and precious silkes he found Pearle at the Pearled Iles he did behold Rich Couchanelo hoarded did abound Imbosom'd in Tichamachalco's ground Thus his industrious labour still did raise The publique profite and his private praise As Nilus with his inundation Vpon all Aegypt fertile fat lesse showrs Or as Euphrates on the Chaldee nation An over-flowing floud of plentie powrs And graceth all the continent with flowrs So DRAKE his countrie fil'd with store plentie And filling it himselfe was almost emptie Whereas the night can never finde a place The suns eternall shining to asswage Whereas the sun durst never shew his face For feare of icye winters choaking rage Nations unknown unto

Heavens best habilement Ariadne's crowne The Cynosura of the purest thought Faire Helice by whom the heart is taught Send honour downe ô chiefe of Goddesses Honour thy royall persons messenger To ravish DRAKE from earth's unworthines As Jupiter once sent his armour-bearer To transport Ganimed from Ida thither And as that boy was honoured of Jove So honour DRAKE and let him be thy love Daughter of time sincere Posteritie Alwaie new borne yet no man knowes thy birth The arbitresse of pure sinceritie Yet changeable like Proteus on the earth Sometime in plentie sometime ioyn'd with dearth Alwaie to come yet alwaie present heere Whom all runne after none come ever neere Vnpartiall Iudge of all save present state Truth's Idioma of the things are past But still pursuing present things with hate And more iniurious at the first than last Preserving others while thine owne doe wast True treasurer of all antiquitie Whom all desire yet never one could see Be thou religious to renowned DRAKE And place him in thy catalogue of saints In steede of Neptune God of sea him make Either to loose or binde the windes restraints Let sea-men offer him their vowes and plaintes Envie lives with us while our selves survive But when we die it is no more alive And you eternall Joves high progenie Whom at your birth the Gods your parents blest To consecrate unto eternitie In never-dying registers of rest Your selves and others that deserve it best To whom they seal'd this chartar at your birth Your souls should live in heaven your fames on earth Joves deerest darlings Gods best favorites Saints paragons of purest earth refinde Scorn'd of the world because heavens chiefe delightes Inheritours of Paradise by kinde Which was to you before your birth assign'd The golden rings where honours iewels shines Whose sun is Fame heaven Zodiake you the Signes Imbathe your Phoenix quils in Nectar streames Of milken showrs that Juno's breasts did raine Let DRAKES high excellence be all your theames Whereon to spend the chiefest of your braine His worth in honours purest dye engraine That after-ages maie him deifie In holie heavens celestiall Hierarchie GRINVIL a name that made Iberia tremble Whom Jove would make the Atlas of the west So well he did his Hercules resemble Had not a waightier charge his minde possest For having plac'd him in Elysian rest In heavens star-chamber held a Parliament And made him Prorex of his regiment Well hath his Poet royaliz'd his acts And curiouslie describ'd his tragedie Quaintlie he hath eternized his facts In lasting registers of memorie Even coëternall with eternitie So that the world envies his happie state That he should live when it is ruinate Some fierie Muse with heavenly heate enflam'd Mount DRAKE likewise above the azur'd skie Be not the Eagle Joves thunder-bearer nam'd Let DRAKE possesse that glorious dignitie Or rather let himselfe the thund'rer bee And make the world his maiestie to wonder For who more fit then DRAKE to rule the thunder Hee rul'd earth's thunder while he did survive Which when he list could make great Neptune quake Angrie with Jove that anie man alive Should terrifie and make his kingdome shake But when he heard it was renowned DRAKE He gave to him his trident and his mace As one more fit to rule that stormy place Spaine trembled at the thunder of his name And when those Gyants proudlie did rebell No thunder-bolt had needed but his fame Their hawtie-minded forces for to quell And send them by whole Myriads unto hell That Charon curs'd their comming on so fast And knew not how so many could be past The proud Tartessian Caligula feares And hides his doating head for very horrour If but DRAKES name doe thunder in his eares And lies astonish'd with an uncouth terrour Exhaling forth his gasping breath with dolour While DRAKE our new Alcides vanquished This Spanish Hydra's ever-growing head The Pyrenean cloudie-topped mountaines At his approach with mists their faces vail'd The hills shed teares and made encrease of fountaines Still fleeting downe the clifts and never fail'd When through the Ocean waves his navie sail'd And if cleere waters in the fleete were scant He made his foe-mens teares supplye the want Oft did the sourges plow'd vp by his ship Seeme to ore-whelme the Cassiterides While the Cantabrian-Ocean sea-nymphs skip Together with the faire Nerëides And all the lovelie Oceanitides Dauncing about to have a sight of DRAKE Or of his ship a lovelie kisse to take As oft as neere the Gades both he sail'd And by Cape-Sacers sky-top'd promontory Their heades like dappers under waves they vail'd Th' Herculean maine it selfe seem'd to be sorry Grieving it should such pondrous forces carrie For though it could beare him who bare the skye It could not DRAKE for DRAKE was more thē he The Baleares wisht them-selves unknowne Or ioyn'd in league unto the Brittish maine Dreading they should by DRAKE be overthrowne And ravish'd from their neighbour-bordring Spaine Whose weakned powrs it selfe could not maintaine They wisht some God would metamorphose them To sea-nymphs that they might be safe from him Toledo's towres and Compostella's Saint Kept not Hesperia secure from dreade The towres declind the Saint with feare was faint Faint Saint for feare that durst not shew his heade Dreading least greater dangers followed Alas what could such fearefull Saints prevaile Where such great Joves as DRAKE meant to assaile Iberus river in Cantabria Oft wisht he had still kept him under grounde His head-spring neere to Juliobrica Thrise hid himselfe and could no where be founde Thrise overwhelming all the land was drown'd For hearing that the conqu'ring DRAKE came by Poore coward river knew not where to flie What profited th' Herculean Calpe now That Titan in the Occidentall line Trav'ling unto th' Antipodes belowe Daynes to salute him with his radiant shine As to the other world he doth decline One meanes to dispossesse him of his might Who dispossessed Titan of his light Tagus thy gold could not redeeme thy feare Nor all thy sands thy griefe could countervaile DRAKE comes and leades with him the Gods to war With victorie displaied on his sayle What can thy gold and water now availe Thy precious water shall his thirst alaie Thy gold shall serve to give his souldiers pay Spaine annuallie prepar'd a royall fleete To sweepe the seas unto the Indian coast That comming home they might our Dragon meete And pay him tribute at their proper cost England thou had'st the gaine and Spaine the lost Had he surviv'd Tempe had beene our land And Thames had stream'd with Tagus golden sand Such as the Hyperborean Dragon was That bare th' inchaunting daughter of the sunne On scaled crest of triple-plated brasse When through Campania's coast he us'd to runne And ceas'd not ranging till his course were done But with irrefragable force and might Made obstant lets give waie unto his flight Such was our Dragon when he list to soare And circuit Amphitrite's watrie bowre The rampant
