Ensample of his wondrous faculty,
2 Behold the boyling Bathes at Cairbadon,
Which seeth with secret fire eternally,
4 And in their entrails, full of quicke Brimston,

And health to euery forreine nation:
8 Yet he at last contending to excell
The reach of men, through flight into fond mischief fell.
