The Indies, Philip, spread not like thy robe;

Art thou the new horizon to the globe?

Down, pickaxe; to the depths for gold let’s go;

We’ll undermine Peru. Is’nt heaven below?

Who gripes too much casts all upon the ground; 45

Too great a greatness greatness doth confound.

All things are wonder since the world began;

The world’s a riddle, and the meaning’s man.

Barten Holyday.
