In tall ships richly built and ribd with brasse,

To put a girdle round about the world,

When they have done it (comming neere their haven)

Are faine to give a warning peece, and call[25]

A poore staid fisher-man, that never past

His countries sight, to waft and guide them in:

So when we wander furthest through the waves

Of glassie Glory, and the gulfes of State,

Topt with all titles, spreading all our reaches,[30]

As if each private arme would sphere the earth,
