They passing by, a goodly Ship did see,
2 Laden from far with precious merchandize,
And brauely furnished, as ship might bee,
4 Which through great disauenture, or +mesprize+,
Her selfe had runne into that hazardize;
6 Whose mariners and merchants with much toyle,
Labour'd in vaine, to haue recur'd their prize,
8 And the rich wares to saue from pitteous spoyle,
But neither toyle nor trauell might her backe recoyle.
