Whose fruitfull streames with winding in and out,

Forcing their way through hollow lands about,

From th’occidentall with swift course do run,

Where Hesper bright brings vp the golden sun:

And on the siluer brest of this great lord

Of all the deepes, that Albion’s wombe doth hoard,

Downe from the easterne seas I might descrie

Many swift-winged barkes, that seem’d to flie,

Cutting their passage through the threatning waue,

That 'bout their sides in vaine did rore and raue;
