AS Pilot well expert in perilous waue,
2 That to a stedfast starre his course hath bent,
When foggy mistes, or cloudy tempests haue
4 The faithfull light of that faire lampe yblent,
And couer'd heauen with hideous dreriment,

The maisters of his long experiment,
8 And to them does the steddy helme apply,
Bidding his winged vessell fairely forward +fly.+
