THE Second Advice TO A PAINTER FOR Drawing the History of our NAVALL Business In Answer to Mr. Waller NAy Painter if thou dar'st design that Fight Which Waller only Courage had to Write If thy bold hand can without shaking Draw What even the Actors trembled when they saw Enough to make thy Colours change like their's And all thy Pencills bristle like their Haires First in fit distance of the prospect Vaine Paint Allen Tilting at the Coast of Spaine Heroick Act and never heard till now Steming of Her'cles Pillers with his Prow And how two Ships he left the Hills to waft And with new Sea-marks Dover and Calice graft Next let the flaming London come in view Like Nero's Rome burnt to Rebuild it new What lesser Sacrifice then this was meet To offer for the fafty of the Fleet Blow one Ship up another thence doth grow See what free Cities and wise Courts can do So some old Merchant to ensure his Name Marries a fresh and Courtiers share the Dame So what soe're is broke the Servants pay 't And Glasses are more durable then Plate No Mayor till now so rich a Pageant fain'd Nor one Barge all the Companies contain'd Then Painter draw Coerulean Coventry Keeper or rather Chancelor of the Sea Of whom the Captain buys his leave to dye And Barters it for Wounds or Infamy And more exactly to express his hue Use nothing but ultra marinish blue To pay his Fees the Silver Trumpet spend And Boatswains whistles For his Place depends Pilots in vain repeat the Compass o're Untill of him they learn that one Point more The constant Magnet to the Pole doth hold Steel to the Magnet Coventry to Gold Muscovy sells us Hemp and Pitch and Tar Iron and Copper Sweden Munster War Ashley Prizes Warwick Customs Cartret Pay But Coventry doth sell his Fleet away Now let our Navy stretch its Canvas wings Swoln like his purse with tackling like its strings By slow degrees of the encreasing Gale First under Sale and after under Sail Then in kind visit unto Opdams Gout Hedge the Dutch in only to let them out So Huntsmen fair unto the Hares give law First find them and then civilly withdraw That the blind Archer when they take the Seas The Hamborough Convey may betray at ease So that the Fish may more securely bite The Fisher baits the River over night But Painter now prepare t' enrich thy Piece Pencills of Ermins Oyl of Ambergreece See where the Dutches with triumphant tayl Of numerous Coaches Harwich doth assayl So the Land-Crabs at Natures kindly call Down to engender at the Sea do crawl See then the Admiral with Navy whole To Harwich through the Ocean Caraloe So Swallows buried in the Sea at Spring Return to Land with Summer in their wing One thrifty Ferry-boat of Mother-Pearl Suffic'd of old the Citherian Girl Yet Navies are but propperties when here A small Sea-mask built to court you Dear Three Goddesses in one Pallas for Art Venus for Sport and Juno in your heart Oh Dutches if thy Nuptial Pomp were mean It 's paid with intrest in this Naval Scean Never did Roman Mark within the Nyle So feast the fair Egyptian Crocodile Nor the Venetian Duke with such a State The Adriatique Marry at that Rate Now Painter spare thy weaker Art forbear To draw her parting passions and each tear For love alass hath but a short delight The Winds the Dutch the King all calls to fight She therefore the Dukes person recommends To Brunker Pen and Coventry as friends Pen much more to Brunker most to Coventry For they she knew were more ' fraid then bee Of flying Fishes one had fav'd the Finn And hop'd with that he through the Aire might spin The other thought he might avoid his Knell In the Invention of the Diving Bell The third had tri'd it and afirm'd a Cable Coil'd round about men was Impenetrable But these the Duke rejected only chose To keep far off and others Interpose Rupert that knew not fear but health did want Kept state suspended in his Chair volant All save his head shut in the wooden Case He shew'd but like a broken weather-Glasse But arm'd in a whole Lyon Cap-a-chin Did represent a Hercules within Dear shall the Dutch his twinging Anguish know And feel what Valour whet with pain can do Curst in the mean time be that traitrous Iael That through his Princely temples drove the nail Rupert resolv'd to fight it like a Lyon But Sandwich hop'd to fight it like Aryon He to prolong his life in the dispute And Charm the Holland Pyrats tun'd his Lute Till some juditious Dolphin might approach And land him safe and sound as any Roach Hence by the Gazetteir he was mistooke As unconcern'd as if at Hinchinbrooke Now Painter reassume thy Pencills care It has but Skirmisht yet Now Fight prepare And Battle draw more terrible to show Then the last judgement was of Angelo First let our Navy scour through silver froth The Oceans burthen and the Kingdomes both Whos 's every bulk doth represent it's birth From Hide and Paston burthens of the earth Hide whose transcendent Paunch so swells of late That he the Rupture seems of Law and State Paston whose belly devours more Millions Then Indian Carracks and contains more Tuns Let sholes of Porposes on every side Wonder in swimming by the Oakes out-vide And the Sea-fowls at gaze behold a thing So vast more strong and swift then they of wing Both which presaging gorge yet keep in sight And follow for the Reliques of the Fight Then let the Dutch with well disembling fear Or bold dispair more then we wish draw near At which our Gallants to the Sea but tender And more to fight Their squezy stomacks render With breasts so panting that at every stroake You might have felt their hearts beat through the Oke Whilst one concern'd most in the interval Of straining Choller thus did cast his Gall Noah be damb'd and all his Race accurst Who in Sea-brine did pickle Timber first Who though be planted Vines he Pines cut down He taught us how to drink and how to drown He first built Ships and in the Woodden-Wall Saving but Eight e're since endangers All. And thou Dutch Negromantick Frier Damn'd And in thine own first Morter-piece be ram'd Who first inventedst Cannon in thy Cell Nitre from Earth and Brimstone fetcht from Hell But Damn'd and treble Damn'd be Clarendine Our Seventh Edward with his House and Line Who to devert the danger of the War With Bristol hounds us on the Hallander F●ls coated Gown-men sells to fight with Hans Dunkirk Dismantles Scotland quarrels
