And in this spacious shire the near’st the center set
Of any place of note, that these should bravely get
The praise from those that sprung out of her pearly lap:
Which, nourish’d and bred up at her most plenteous pap,
No sooner taught to dade, but from their mother trip,
And in their speedy course strive others to outstrip.
The Yalm, the Awn, the Aum, by spacious Dertmoor fed,
And in the southern sea b’ing likewise brought to bed;
That these were not of power to publish her desert,
Much griev’d the ancient Moor; which understood by Dert
