Feare nought, (then said the Palmer well auiz'd;)
2 For these same Monsters are not these in deed,
But are into these fearefull shapes disguiz'd
4 By that same wicked witch, to worke vs dreed,
And draw from on this iourney to proceede.
6 Tho lifting vp his vertuous staffe on hye,
He smote the sea, which calmed was with speed,
8 And all that dreadfull Armie fast gan flye
Into great Tethys bosome, where they hidden lye.
