So 'mid the yce of the farre Northern sea,

A starre about the Articke Circle, may

Then ours yeeld clearer light; yet that but shall

Serve at the frozen Pilots funerall.

Thou (brightest constellation) to this maine

Which all we sinners traffique on, didst daigne

The bounty of thy fire, which with so cleare

And constant beames did our frayle vessels steare,

That safely we, what storme so ere bore sway,

Past ore the rugged Alpes of th' angry Sea.
