Moone For trying of his Tides how they doe take and giue So must he duely seeke the Eclipticke course of Sunne How he from West to East his proper course doth keepe His labour then God knowes as yet is but begunne For he must watch and ward and shake off sluggish sleepe And haue a carefull eye to hand that is at Helme For many one there is thâ—t false his course will plye And swelling Seas likewise the Ship may ouer-whelme Or set her on the shore without the Pylots eye When Boreas is abroad and blustring blasts doe blowe In season must he seeke to short in loftye sayle For that if not in time he very well doth knowe That all too late indeede no labour will preuayle But when the raging stormes doe swinge the ship on hye Ofte times against his will he spoones before the seas Else in goes all the sayles and takes her from her trye In haste to driue or hull till God the same appease Thus when he all the night with wearie toyle hath tride And sees the swelling seas hath set him from his way Then when a litle slacke of calme he hath espide With ioyfull heart to take the height he doth assay His Astrolabie then he setteth for the Sunne Or Crosse-staffe for the starre called the Ballastile And thus with help of them and declination How land doth beare of him he knowes within a while Then by his Compasse straight he duly sets his course And thus he brings the ship in safetie to her Porte Where of his hazards past he makes a great discourse And each man by desert doth giue him good reporte If Pylots painfull toyle be lifted then alofte For vsing of his Arte according to his kinde What fame is due to them that first this Arte out sought And first instructions gaue to them that were but blinde R.
