breedeth treasons oft And toyle plucks downe those haughtie hearts that lokes to mount alofte Rest maketh mischiefe ripe and settes bad things abroch Toyle teacheth men to conquer Fame and flee from foule reproch Rest loues to dallie much like vvhelp that waues the tayle Toyle is for Vertue quicke as Bee for Vice as slow as Snayle Rest sowes no blessed feede yet reapes a curssed grayne Toyle weedes the ground and planteth floures where nettles did remayne Rest vvill no dutie know but shakes off shackels still Toyle makes the body apte to stoupe to bend and shew good will Rest is a retchlesse ioy that sees not his ovvne harmes Toyle castes out many a vayne consayte that rest brings in by svvarmes If toyle bring these good things that I haue told before And rest but want and beggrie breedes with sundrie mischiefes more They ought haue endlesse lavvd that in these loytring dayes Set ydle hands and heads a worke to winne immortall prayse And they that first found out the strange and forrayne soyle Are gone themselues to win the prise or take the open foyle Which shevves them more than men halfe Gods if I say troth VVhole kingdomes scarcely cā suffice their minds and manhoode both Now haue they taken leaue of worldly pleasures all That yong and lusty were to liue and now to toyle they fall That finely were brought vp yea now they bidde adiew The glittring Court the gallāt towne the gorgious garments new The brauerie of this world the pride and pomp of earth And looke not backward any vvay to ritches race or birth To worthy wife nor friend to babes nor neerest kinne But only to the Lord aboue and iourney they are in And all for Countreys cause and to enrich the same Now do they hazard all they haue and so for wealth and fame They fare along the Seas they sayle and tide it out They hale and stretch the sheates aloft they toyle and dread no doubt They feede on Bisket hard and drincke but simple beere Salt beefe and Stockfish drie as kecke is now their greatest cheere And still a fulsome smell of pitch and tarre they feele And vvhen Seasicke God wot they are about the Shippe they reele And stomacke belcheth vp a dish that Hadocks seeke A bitter messe of sundry meates a Sirrope greene as leeke Then head and heart doth heaue and body waxeth cold Yet face vvill svveat a heauie fight the same is to beholde But they must needes abide a greater brunt than this And hope that after hellish paynes there commes a time of bliss Yet note the torments strange that toyling saylers haue Who liues at mercie of the Seas yea surge and svvelling vvaue Would swallow vp the Shippe if Pylots were not good And some in time of great distresse vnto their tackle stood Sometime a flaw of vvind blowes Maister ore the Hatch And Boy fro toppe coms tumbling dovvne and at a cord doth catch To saue his sillie life aloofe then cries my mates No neerer shore the Ship she tucks and on the sand she grates And plying for aboorde about the Vessell goes And through the shroudes and clouted Sayles a gale of winde there bloes That seemes to shake the Barke in sunder euery ribbe Then is no time to heaue the can to crie carous and bibbe But each man to his vvorke they fall and flie apace In necke of this a man of vvarre that seekes to giue the chace They spie in halfe a kenne vp Sould youres ho in hast The Captayne calls yet vnder hatch a sort of them are plast To beare the enmie out that should the Shippe assayle At length the Cannon bullet flyes and shotte as thicke as hayle Goes off to murther men and such a smoke doth rise As few may well regard the seas or scarce behold the Skyes Some grone and bidde good-goodnight their day watch vvaxeth dimme Some cā not speake their heads are off and some haue lost a limme Some lyes on hatches lame they haue no legges to stand And some haue lost the vse of arme or maymed of a hand And some are fighting still and gets no harme at all But he that speedeth best the while makes boast thereof but small These brawles and bloudy broyles to end or quiet brought A new beginnes as yll a storme that troubles more their thought The Rockes and wretched streights that they must safely passe The narrow Creekes doubts they find in compasse of their glasse Is daunger wonders great so that these Saylers toyle Rests all on hazards eare they come to any certayne soyle I could rehearse a heape of sorrowes that they haue But you that liue in peace at home and mince the matter braue Will scarce beleeue a troth and toyle that trauelers take Well noble Pilgrims as in Verse I write this for your sake In Prose at your returne looke for a greater prayse A Booke that to the loftie Skyes your rare renovvne shall rayse This write I for your friends that you haue left behinde Your vvorthy wiues whose patient hearts beare many things in mind And sitte and shakes their heads at that they can not mend And many a sigh and sadde consaite along the Seas they send To follow those that flie from them God
