What of help, the shining stars, brothers of Helen, can bring:

To spirits cast down good hope soon doth restore.”

Constantia comes victoriæ.

To Miles Corbet Esſquier.

Whitney, 1586.

“The shippe, that longe vppon the sea dothe saile,

And here, and there, with varrijng windes is toste:

On rockes, and sandes, in daunger ofte to quaile.
