Their course to our sea-bounded Britanie,
To menace vs with their proud ambasie.
57.
Where when they came, seeing our court abound,
With honor’s sonnes emploi’d in deeds of fame,
Not in still waues of court-deepe pleasures drown’d:
For vse in deeds of armes and martiall game
Exiling sloth the pride of lust doth tame:
They thought their antique Romane emperie,
Had been transferr’d from Rome to Britanie.
