by Hesiod

Loose them: and ease [309]the dear knees of thy Men.

VI.

If of a Chance-complaining Man at seas

The humor take thee; when the Pleiades

Hide head, and flie the fierce Orion’s chace,

And the darke-deep Oceanus embrace;

Then diuerse Gusts of violent winds arise;

And then attempt no Nauall enterprize.

But ply thy Land affaires, and draw ashore
