apace that one might then Haue thought th' had been all mouing Iron men And now the Martiall steely-pointed staues Were snatch't in hast the heauy murdring Glaues Bowes bent to slaughter weighty Courtelaxe And Darts Death's Harbingers the black bill axe And other armes which before rusting stood But now are brought forth to be skour'd with blood Our saile-wing'd fleet launcheth fro'th'shore now eased Of it's dread burden nor was th' earth more pleased To see from her one hideous terrour past That grieu'd to see another come as fast One might haue thought the battell was begun To see how Neptune first was thorough run How the sterne brasse his curled forehead tore And trembling waues were strucke by cruell oare Each Fleet the Captaines had deuided soone Into the formes of the halfe-circled Moone But as their furious hornes together met These two halfe-moones a full Moone did beget Which like to that in Heauen as it did goe Made the fleet waters strangely Ebbe and Flow. Now as with proud aduance they neerer came Those beasts which gaue the saile-rul'd vessels name With an aspect more grim than is their life As breathing nought but bate and balefull strife Come fiercely forward all as if from thence They meant to moue their painted Residence The Lyon Elephant and sauage Hogge The Libard Tygre Ounce and cruell Dogge Sternely affront each other one might guesse In midst of Sea a sauage Wildernesse Wherein with admiration one might see So many a fierce wild beast so many a Tree But now our valiant Generall traversing About the fleet encourag'd them rehearsing This speech wherein he brauely did exhort To th' Fight which ready cut th' Oration short Courage braue friends and that is all I pray Strength cannot want where Courage leads the way But what need I th' vndaunted hearts excite Of them whose eies me thinks already fight Looke as ye doe and ye shall neuer need Weapons or hands to make your foes to bleed Your look's shall strike'em dead and warlike sight Shall put your fearefull enemies to flight What ere ye aime at heere before you lie Honour Reuenge Spoile Riches Victorie Which if they mooue not see your Natiue Land Your Nurse your Mother see how she doth stand A farre to marke which of you best shall render The Meed of Nurture who shall best defend her Them will she honour brauely then driue backe This vast Sea-monster which is come to racke Your Nursses entrailes com't but once to Land The very Earth will be affraid to stand It 's cruell brunt whither if reach it can The blood and teares will make an Ocean Deeper than this I see 'em now repaire O let my Omen vanish into aire Vnto our Land see how like Wolues they rage About the coasts sparing nor sex nor age See how they pull strong wals of Citties downe Leauing the men as naked as the Towne They raze your sacred Temples and not leaue A hallowed place where after ye may heaue Your hands for aide to heav'n Your Altars frames These wicked wretches with prophaned flames Sacrifice to their anger yea they dare To open Ghostly Tomb's and thence lay bare Your Ancestors sad Coffins whose dead ashes In stead of teares their Childrens blood be-dashes They dragge our ancient Parents vnto slaughter Answering their dying grones with cruell laughter Our younger Wiues and Sisters they deflour And basel● make our neerest kinsmen our Most hated foes our tender infants rawle Scarce borne being borne vnto their funerall These things which heav'n be thank't I but suppose Vnlesse yee helpe will once aduance our foes Say that our Nauy be farre lesse than theirs Haue not great ships amids their swift carriers Beene staid by little Remoraes Then on And let not this cold Element whereon We are to fight quench those couragious flames Which burne in euery manly brest that aimes At immortality but strike so sterne That the dumbe fishes may heereafter learne To speake your praises and each waue report Vnto it's neighbour in how valiant sort Ye fought till that the Oceans vtmost bound And farthest Thule with your fame shall sound Yea that the Sun when he at night shall presse This way may goe and tell th' Antipodes What acts he saw nor yet of ayd despaire The Sea it selfe if need shall aske will spare A thousand of his streaming arm 's for you All fish prooue sword-fish to fight for our due Thinke for no refuge heere to flie your hand Not feet must bring you backe againe to land No longer will the time with vs dispence What my speech wants my sword shall recompence Now 'twixt a thousand liues a thousand death 's Of time one little winged minute breath 's The loud-mouth'd Gun onely expects the fire At touch of which as burnt it should expire It 's skrieking voice groning that so much death Should be accomplish't by th' infectious breath Of it's dire mouth Darts ready are to part To hide their heads in some ill fortun'd hart Arrowes and Muskets leuel'd seeme to kill Before they can in act in fierie will One might haue thought viewing this fearefull sight ' Thad bin the picture of a Navall Fight But harke th' amazing signes of battell sound Making the lands remote and rockes rebound The shrill voic't Trumpet and couragious drum In barbarous language bid the foes to come Death's horrid vizar now begins t' appeare In their pale faces terrour and gastly feare In their amazed hearts doth panting rise And future blood bath's in their fiery eyes Sterne Cruelty aduanceth in their lids With headlong fury stalking in the mids Apelles present here or one so skil'd Might haue made pictures hence that would haue kil'd The thundring Ord'nance now began to rent Th' amazed aire the flames before it sent Seeme lightning and as deadly bullets flie Prodigious haile seem'd to powre downe the skie Smoake made a clowdy mist and all together Seeme on the sea to make tempestuous weather To call for ayd here stands as much in stead As in that place when from a doubtfull head The seauen-mouth'd Nilus with a desperate shocke Headlong doth tumble from th' amazed rock Making the people on the neighbouring shelues That hearing him they cannot heare themselues Thus the fights noyse made many a man to fall In troublous death a silent Funerall Alas those Elements which vse t' vp hold Our crazy liues with their iust heate and cold Making compact our bodies constitution Striue now to cause it 's vtter dissolution The quicke and piercing fire as it doth burne Their wofull carkasses doth freezing turne Their minds to quaking feare and I hill despaire The liquid flitting and all-searching aire Admitts remorsles shot and murdring darts Denying breath at last to coole their harts The theevish water though it ran away With suttle shifts did notwithstanding slay And swallow most with a deuouring flood Onely poore earth starke still astonished stood Who viewing this would not haue thought a wonder That without raine wind lightning
