Dungannon where was good service at the Isle of Muck wherein going on was drowned Sir Samuel Bagnall his Ancient which made many prognosticate worse successe then fell out also at Kinsale where was a lamentable sore Leager and a long but a happy for us in the end 14 For when my hopes in learning it was lost I then took arms as holding it the best Since Fortune had my towardnesse so crost I thought I could not be no better blest Then for my Queen honor'd country fight For to maintain their true and lawfull right 15 Though I but one yet one must needs begin A number that is number numberlesse Then a souldier needly must come in To make the number be it more or lesse For why I play'd a souldiers faithfull part I did my best both with my hand and heart 16 But after that a hard time I had been A souldier there my Queen being dead gone I got reward a shot may yet be seen And that was all and then away did come Home into England to my Friends again Who did disdain my service love and pain 16 At the Queenes death I came into England with a sore shot not whole yet as welcome to my friends as the poore Mariner makes water into his ship especially my stepmother 17 And bad me go once more another Voyage And see if that I could finde any worse For my own Father dear swore in his rage The day that I was born that he would curse And rather wish me in untimely grave Then I one houre a future life should have 18 When I poor soul had done nothing at all But what was just and honorable both And for defending the State generall The best I could my minde being very loth To do that thing might not me well beseem In the defence of Country and my Queen 19 Which when I saw my Friends obdurity And that my entertainment it was such And saw nothing but present misery And that for love my Friends hate me so much A wish'd that ere I might here live in scorn That I might die where I was never born 20 Then did I crave a Souldier prest to be Which was well liked by the better sort And did commend my love and duty free And to this day I have their good report That I would go unto the wars again To venture life ere live with Friends disdain 20 After this new supplyes went for Ireland I was prest to go again not much unwillingly seeing the refractory harsh dealing of my dearest friēds for as the old saying is In prosperity a friend is easily found but in adversity not one of a thousand so hath it been with mee for ever when I came into England with a full purse the dearest and neerest Friends I had would helpe me to spend it and make it empty but when I came home poor I was not for their company 21 Which I did do and then did much endure A second time in Ireland again And further means I never could procure Saue that I got my labour for my pain For when Sir Cary Dougherthy was dead I came to England forc'd to beg my bread 21 I served in Ireland untill the last Rebellion in Loughfoyle beginning at the Diry by Sir Cary Dougherthy in which time I served under the command of Sir Oliver Saint Iohn after Lord Deputy also Sir Edward York Sir Richard Hansard Captain George Malary Sir George Flower 22 Where that I found such simple courtesie As caused me again to leave the land And then I travaild into Italy When noble Payton did our Force command Vnder the Signior and Venetian State Where I bought wit at such an extream rate 22 After my second time comming from Ireland I found such poor respect of my friends that I travelled into Italy and served under the English Regiment at Venice Sir Henry Payton being Generall my Captain was Billingsley 23 As that I did beside my losse of bloud Indure the hard and cruell slavery Even of the Turks where I found nothing good But all I got was stripes and misery But God in mercy after a time was pleas'd I from the Turkish slavery was eas'd 23 But going an unfortunate Voyage to Sea for desire of gain I got instead a world of pain being taken prisoner by the Turks where I remayned a slave a long time but by Gods providence beyond expectation of any humane reason I was by the help of the Christians released to wit a man of Florence who brought mee to Ligorne a dainty Haven Town seated to the Sea upon the foot of the River Arno which runs up from thence to the rare and goodly City Florence but rather I may say the River Arno runs from Florence to Ligorne being about fifty miles 24 And did return to Florence Citie fair Where now again I came to Italie And was ore-joy'd to see that City rare In my conceit the prime of Lombardie Tho many praise some other Cities more Yet do I think they are mistaken sore 24 The saying is that Italie is the ganden of the World and that Lombardy is the garden of Italie and Florence the garden of Lombardy which indeed it is for it is curious for building delicatly seated and very bravely peopled and full of plenty it hath in it a very stately Grand Dome or Church all of pure checker work white and black Marble corner wise set there is a great and massie ball of beaten gold on the top of the high Steeple 25 Tho Venice it be rich and Genoa proud Padua be learn'd and Belogna brave And mighty Rome for spaciousnesse abow'd Dainby Verona yet none of these you have So Dainby fair a curious seat to see As Florence is within all Italie 25 After I left Florence I was at divers curious Cities of marvellous beauty of which I have named some especially Genoa where the Marquesse Spinola had a curious house Genoa exceeds for high building any place that ever I saw Padua is a dainty Academy especially for Physick and so is Mantua Verona a very fine City as also Bellogna Brussia Bargamore and many others Rome me thought was but a ragged great thing and not very beautifull the chiefest things of note is the Bridge of Tyber and Saint Angeloes the Pyramides the Popes Pallace and his gilded gate with the great and Metropolitan Church of Saint Peter as also I must remember their Panthaon which was the Temple of the old Roman gods which is a mighty thing built round either for fear their gods should fall by the eares for prerogative Royall as indeed it was or else for feare they should run out at the West end of the Church like stout gods and turn cowards 26 But leaving Italie thus after I Had bin from England almost twice five years I past the Alps those mighty Mountains high Where I did weep more drops of brinish tears Then I got water for to drink that time Saving cold
