Shooting forth fierie beames from his blacke ship,

Which with the mounting waues did forward skip.

402.

Each aduerse force to fight drew forth their powers,

And in a golden morne, when Phœbus drew

From off the battlements of Cadize towers,

The ruddie cheekt Aurorae’s pearlie dew,

The thundring bullets interchanged flew,

And either side a glorious day to win,

With deadly furie did the fight begin.
