Vision I Saw me thought from Cambers hilly shore A goodly Arke as euer eye beheld Whose Sayles were Silke and Tackle twined Oare That seem'd reflected gloriously to guild The waue around while thousand colours faire Kept time aloft with euery little ayre She Archôn hight for that she had no Peere And could command the Ocean with her might In whom the Hopes of many thousands were But chiefly of the Muse and Martiall sprite● Braue Man of warre she was from Britaine bound For new discoueries all that might be found And going out shee did beguile the way With sound of Trumpet Shawmes and Cornet shrill That fil'd the shore and seem'd to charme the Sea For windes were ceas'd and waues were calme and stil. Such peales of Thunder then anone were sent As if she would haue torne the Firmament But sodainely the Day was ouercast A tempest hurles the billow to the Skye That Cables brake and hauing spent her Mast Shee fell on Rocks herewith I heard a cry Of dying men who perish'd on the shelues Saue some that knew to swim and saue themselues VVhich when I saw a streame of Teares I shed And said O GOD who did commit the sinne That such a Treasure should be buried In lowest Graue as it had neuer bin A fraught wherein we shared euery one And by whose losse three Kingdomes are vndone II.

VISION A Wood there was along the Stygian Lake Where Night and euerlasting Horror dwell Herein a Caue two hollow Rockes did make From whence a Brooke as blacke as Lethe fell A common roade led thither with descent So steepe that none return'd that euer went It was an vncouth Dungeon darke and wide Where liuing man nere was or light had shone Saue that a little glimmering I espi'de From rotten stickes that all about were throwne The Bexe and banefull Eugh-tree grew without All which a stinking ditch did moate about Within there hung vpon the ragged wals Sculs shirtes of maile whose owners had beene slaine Escotcheons Epitaphes of Funerals In bottles teares of friends and Louers vaine Spades Mottockes models boltes and barres for strength With bones of Giants of a wondrous length Beneath all formes of Monuments were seene Whose superscriptions were through age defac'd And owners long agoe consumed cleane But now as coffers were in order plac'd Wherein inditements lay charmes Dead-mens wills Popes pardons pleas and Pothecaries bills In mid'st there sat a meagre wretch alone That had in sorrow both his ei'n outwept And was with pine become
