[Like the huge Ruck from Gillingham that flewe]:
The Antilop, the Elephant, Defence,
Bottoms as good as euer spread a clue:
All hauing charge, their voyage hauing bin,
Before Southampton to take Souldiers in.
Twelue Merchants Ships, of mighty burthen all,
New off the Stocks, that had beene rig’d for [Stoad],
Riding in Thames by Lymehouse and Blackwall
That ready were their Merchandize to load,
