Far from the hoped hauen of reliefe,

Why[938] do thy cruell billowes beat so strong,

And thy moyst mountaines each on others throng,

Threatning to swallow vp my fearefull life?

O do thy cruell wrath and spightfull wrong

At length allay, and stint thy stormy strife,

Which in these[939] troubled bowels raignes, and rageth rife.

For else my feeble vessell crazd, and crackt ix

Through thy strong buffets and outrageous blowes,

Cannot endure, but needs it must be wrackt
