Got noble conquest on the Indian coast.

Fortune with fame his high attempts did crowne,
And his dread name the foes with feare did fright,
Saint Iohn de Porta Rico that strong towne,
And her faire castle, which did seeme in sight
Impregnable gainst all assaults in fight,
His hands to heapes of fruitlesse dust did burne,
And with her spoile he home did safe returne.
