gate And after these two sent in post all those Which came within his mercie or his blowes By this the sunne had spred his golden locks Vpon the pale greene carpet of the sea And opned wide the scarlet dore which locks The easefull euening from the labouring day Now Night began to leape from iron Rocks And whip her rustie wagon through the way VVhilst all the Spanish host stoode maz'd in sight None darring to assayle a second fight VVhen Don Alfonso Generall of the warre Saw all his Nauie with one ship controld Hee toare his hayre and loudlie cryd from farre For honour Spanyards and for shame be bold Awaken Vertue say her slumbers marre Iberias auncient valure and infold Her wondred pulssance and her glorious deeds In cowards habit and ignoble weeds Fie that the spyrit of a single man Should contradict innumerable wills Fie that infinitiues of forces can Nor may effect what one conceit fulfills VVoe to the wombe ceaselesse the teats I ban That cherrisht life which all our liues ioyes kills VVoe to our selues our fortunes and our minds Agast and scarrd with whistling of the winds See how he tryumphes in dispight of death Promethean like laden with liuing fier And in his glorie spits disdainfull breath Loathing the basenes of our backe retire Euen now me thinks in our disgrace he saith Foes to your fames why make you Fate a lyer When heauen and she haue giuen into your hand VVhat all the world can neuer backe demaund Say that the God of Warre Father of Chiualrie The Worthies Heroes all fam'd Conquerours Centaurs Gyants victorious Victorie VVere all this Grinuils hart-sworne paramours Yet should we fightlesse let our shyps force flie Well might we crush his keele W t rocklike powers And him with them ore-whelme into the maine Courage then harts fetch honour backe againe Heere shame the fretting canker of the mind That fiers the face with fuell from the hart Fearing his weapons weakenes est assignd To desperate hardines his cōfounding dart And now the Spanyards made through words stone blind Desperate by shame ashamd dispaire should part like dāned scritchowles chimes to dead mēs hours Make vowes to fight till fight all liues deuours And now the tragicke sceane of death begins Acts of the night deeds of the ouglie darke VVhen Furies brands gaue light to furious sins And gastlie silence gaping wounds did marke Sing sadlie then my Muse teares pittie wins Yet mount thy wings beyond the mornings Larke And wanting thunder with thy lightnings might Split eares that heares the dole of this sad night The fier of Spaynes pride quencht by Grinuils sword Alfonso reinkindles with his tong And sets a batelesse edge ground by his word Vpon their blunt harts feebled by the strong Loe animated now they all accord To die or ende deaths conflict held so long And thus resolud too greedelie assay His death like hounds that hold the Hart at bay Blacker then night more terrible then hell Louder then thunder sharper then Phoebus steele Vnder whose wounds the ouglie Python fell Were bullets mantles clowding the haplesse keele The slaughtered cryes the words the canons tell And those which make euen rocky Mountains reele And thicker then in sunne are Atomies Flew bullets fier and slaughtered dead mens cries At this remorsles Dirgie for the dead The siluer Moone dread Soueraigne of the deepe That with the floods fills vp her horned head And by her waine the wayning ebbs doth keepe Taught by the Fat's how destenie was led Bids all the starres pull in their beames and weepe For twas vnfit chast hallowed eyes should see Honour confounded by impietie Then to the night she giues all soueraigne power Th'eternall mourner for the dayes diuorce Who drowned in her owne harts killing shower Viewes others torments with a sad remorse This flintie Princesse ayme cryes to the hower On which to looke kinde eies no force could force And yet the sight her dull hart so offended That from her sight a foggie dewe descended Now on our Knight raines yron sword and fiers Iron wrapt in smoke swords bath'd in smoking blood Fiers furies king in blood smoke aspiers The consumation of all liuing good Yet Grinuile with like Agents like expires His foe-mens dat's and euermore withstood Th'assaults of death and ruins of the warre Hoping the splendour of some luckie starre On eyther side him still two Gallions lay VVhich with continuall boardings nurst the fight Two great Armados howrelie plow'd their way And by assault made knowne repellesse might Those which could not come neere vnto the fray Aloofe discharg'd their volleys gainst our Knight And when y t one shrunk back beat with disgrace An other instantly supply'd the place So that their resting restlesse him containd And theyr supplies deny'd him to supply The Hydra of their mightines ordaind New spoile for death when old did wounded lie But hee Herculian-like one state retaind One to triumph or one for all to die Heauen had onelie lent him but one hart That hart one thought that thought no feare of smart And now the night grew neere her middle line Youthfully lustie in her strongest age VVhen one of Spaynes great Gallions did repine That one should many vnto death ingage And therefore with her force halfe hold diuine At once euaporats her mortall rage Till powerfull Grinuile yeelding power a tombe Splyt her and sunck her in the salt waues wombe VVhen Cutino the Hulks great Admirall Saw that huge Vessell drencht within the surge Enuie and shame tyerd vpon his gall And for reuenge a thousand meanes doth vrge But Grinuile perfect in destructions fall His mischiefes with like miseries doth scourge And renting with a shot his wooden tower Made Neptunes liquid armes his all deuouer These two ore-whelm'd Siuills Ascention came A famous ship well man'd and strongly drest Vindicta from her Cannons mouthes doth flame And more then any our dread Knight oprest Much hurt shee did many shee wounded lame And Valurs selfe her valiant acts confest Yet in the end for warre of none takes keepe Grinuile sunck her within the watry deepe An other great Armado brusd and beat Sunck neere S. Michaels road with thought to scape And one that by her men more choicely set Beeing craz'd and widow'd of her comly shape Ran gainst the shore to pay Ill-chaunce her debt VVho desolate for desolations gape Yet these confounded were not mist at all For new supplies made new the aged brall This while on Grinuile ceazed no amaze No wonder dread nor base astonishment But true resolue and valurs sacred blaze The crowne of heauen and starrie ornament Deckt his diuine part and from thence did raze Affects of earth or earths intendiment And in this broyle as cheerefull was his sight As Ioues imbracing Danae by night Looke how a wanton Bridegroome in the morne Busilie labours to make glad the day And at the noone with wings of courage borne Recourts his bride with dauncing and with play Vntill the
