Therefore, Sir Palmer, keepe an euen hand;

For twixt them both the narrow way doth ly.

It plaine, and by the sea discoloured:

It called was the quicksand of Vnthriftyhed.

They passing by, a goodly Ship did see, xix

Laden from far with precious merchandize,

And brauely furnished, as ship might bee,
