CERTAINE English verses penned by DAVID GWYN who for the space of eleuen yeeres and ten moneths was in most grieuous seruitude in the gallies vnder the King of Spaine and nowe lately by the wonderfull prouidence of God deliuered from captiuitie to the ouerthrow of many of the Spaniards and the great reioycing of all true hearted English men Presented to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie in the Parke at Saint Iames on Sunday the xviii of August 1588. by Dauid Gwyn as foloweth Imprinted at London by Richard Hudson dwelling in Hosier Lane at the signe of the Wool-sacke Certaine English verses presented to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie in the Parke at Saint Iames on Sunday the xviii of August 1588. SVch Rebels as do meane to sell their crowne to forreine foes Against their Queene for to rebel whose secrets God disclose Marke well and read this story mine though simple and rude it be And to your Queene with heart encline let treason from you flee For I am one that captiue am and know the Spaniards heart Although he loue the traitors name at length hee makes him smart He giues the traitor daily pay while treason is a working But afterwards to his decay he cuts him short from barking Which is the due and iust reward that doeth belong to treason The hangman takes him by the beard to cut his head with reason Examples many I could bring which lately hath bene prooued Of those that wrote to Philip king whose hearts to treason mooued The youthfull Duke of Bragan soile Bargansiae cald by name Who gaue the Portugall the spoile and brought himselfe to shame Also the Coundie of Caskails did ioine with him in treason Pretending for to purchase vailes being void and cleare of reason And so they sold their natiue land to Philip king of Spaine Who hauing Portugall in hand as king therein did raigne Who sudainly did turne his face from this good duke and Coundie● And gaue no credit to their race wherein they knew the follie Therefore good Christian countrimen take heed beware betime Let no false treason mooue you then to Pope nor Spanish king Let not affection blind your eies nor popish tales deceiue Let not the Spaniards tales nor lies constraine you to beleeue For they are deuils and are not gods seeing people they deceiues I wish you well beleeue him not if you will liue at ease Therefore you Saxon sorte that rebels meane to liue Marke well and reade the euill report that Portugals do giue The Southerne Spanish race that mankinde would subiect To turne vs all from Christes lawes to liue in Popish sect Repent therefore in time and call to God for grace To Queene Elizabeth doe incline and flie from Spaniards race Be true vnto the English Crowne and doe the Pope detest Procure to beat the Spaniards downe the Romanes and the rest Examples good you may well take of Italie and Cicilia soyle By spaniards Flanders all doth quake they Portugale did spoyle Therefore good English knightes be true vnto your Queene In noble mindes set your delights and flie from treason cleane Marke well a Captiues plaint that doth lament your case To Queene Elizabeth be you not faint and call to God for grace And thus with mournefull heart from Galley I doe end Where I doe feele the bitter smart of Popish Spanish men Farewell good natiue soyle farewell good Countrey mine Defend your land from Spanish foyle and flie from Spanish line I write with dolefull pen my leaue of you to take My life I lead in Galley cheyne from whence my moane I make Viuat Regina Elizabetha An other at the same time deliuered to her Maiestie by DAVID GWYN THe Eagle and the Lyon fearce doe ioyne their subiects all Against the Saxon soyle to pearce their counsell they doe call To knowe the way for to obteine their long desired will In iudgement seate they sit againe to vtter all their skill And as the commons bragge and boast a fleete they meane to make To saile vnto the English coast the Queene and land to take With helpe of Rebels they doe thinke the Saxon land to spoyle If Queene and Counsell do not winke the land can haue no foile But those that lurketh in the denne and did not know the smart I meane some kinde of English men which beares a Spanish heart They thinke the Crowne of ioy to win by treason and by guile Against the Christian English Queene to please the Spaniards wile Therefore good nobles play your part defend your Queene and land Against the Spaniards shewe your art your force and mightie hand Good Christian Clergie send abroad your preachers for to showe Howe bondage is a deadly rodde in winters time you knowe The Spaniardes make the Christian slaue and bondmen vnto thrall Their heads beards they daily shaue which is a dreadfull fall They meane with force of fiery sword your Saxon land to runne They say it is for Christes word and Romaines lawes among They sweare by Christ and by their beards the English Queene to take The Counsell and the Nobles heads to make them all to quake The merchant and the venterers with Spanish bragge they threate The officers and the labourers with fists they meane to beate Therefore you worthy wightes that passe the southerne seas Man out your princely shippes your foes for to displease And keepe your English coast from Phillip King of Spaine And from all those that daily boast to put you all to paine I write no more I wish you well my minde you may well knowe From captiues chaine where I do dwel with bitter paynes and woe An other presented to her Maiestie by Dauid Gwyn in commendation of Sir Francis Drake O Noble knight O worthie wight O prince of nauigation In martiall affaires is thy delight for countries preseruation Thy noble fame like Phebus trim in all the world is spread As eclipse the sun and moone doth dim so Spaniards do thee dread Thy valiant actes and worthie hart deserues eternall fame Thy knowledge and Astrologies art doth verifie the same Thy happy course that thou didst runne vnto the westerne land Did make the Spaniards all to shunne as fearing of thy hand Sanda Domingo makes great mone Carthagena eke doth crie The westerne Iles do greatly grone thy force hath bin so nie Kalles likewise doth greatly feare with reason thereunto The narrow straites do daily care because thou art their foe Thy enterprise hath bin so high that Turkes could not compare Nor with his gallies come so nigh which makes them all to feare The Graund English they thee doe call of famous good report The Spaniards and the Portingall to England will resort To serue the Queene thee good Drake for thy good famous acts The Spanish King they will forsake with England to compact Thou art so dread as God is feard in southerne coast and land The Spaniard daily shakes his beard and feares thy mightie hand Therefore good worthie Drake serue thou thy soueraigne Queene And make the Spanish foe to quake and English force be seene For helpe and aide thou shalt not want thy vertuous queene is bent Money and victualles is not scant and men will not repent If thou wilt follow victorie as first thou diddest begin All Protestants will pray for thee and for our gracious Queene The Spaniards brag and make greate boast as thou dost partly knowe A huge great fleete they make in haste as letters mine did showe Wherein I writ a warning good to thee and to the queene Rehearsing all both bad and good that in their fleete was seene Also I wrote the summe of men as neare as I could learne And sent it by an Englishman whereby thou mightest discerne To knowe thy foes and what they be all kind of generation The dukes and earles in their degree rehearsed by relation Their ships and force I daily wrote and all their preparation To name them all I missed not as void of desperation And thus good noble knight my simple verse I ende Vnto thy hand good worthie wight my helpe I do commende And wish all English christian men to pray for me poore Gwyn That lieth in bondage and in chaine with popish Spanish king
