Charging, resisting, as their oares would serue,

With darts, with swords, with Pikes, with fierie flames.

So that the darkned night her starrie vaile

Vpon the bloudie sea had ouer-spred,

Whilst yet they held: and hardlie, hardlie then

They fell to flieng on the wauie plaine.

All full of Souldiors ouerwhelm’d with waues:

The aire throughout with cries and grones did sound:

The Sea did blush with bloud: the neighbor shores

Groned, so they with shipwracks pestred were,
