Ar.

To euery Article.

I boorded the Kings ship: now on the Beake,

Now in the Waste, the Decke, in euery Cabyn,

I flam'd amazement, sometime I'ld diuide

And burne in many places; on the Top‑mast,

The Yards and Bore‑spritt, would I flame distinctly,

Then meete, and ioyne. Ioues Lightning, the

precursers

O'th dreadfull Thunder‑claps more momentarie

And sight out‑running were not; the fire, and cracks

Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune

Seeme to besiege, and make his bold waues tremble,

Yea, his dread Trident shake.
