For if I were dispatch’de in this desire,

The feare were gone, of blacke infernall fire.

O Gods of Seas, and cause of blustring winde,

Thou Æolus and Neptune to I say,

Why did you let my Barke sutch fortune finde,

That safe to shore I came by any way?

Why brake yee not, agaynst some Rocke or Bay,

The keele, the sterne, or els blew downe the Mast,

By whose large sayles through surging seas I past?

Had these things hapt, I had not seene this houre,
