Then may thy latter dayes out-strip old times,

That now hast seene, Earths circulary Climes:

And far beyond Ulysses, reach’d without him,

Both East and West, yea, North and South about him:

Which here exactly, thou hast sweetly sung

In ornat style, in our quick-flowing tongue;

Of Lawes, Religion, customes, manners, rites

Of Kings and people: life-sublimest sprits

In policies and government: Earths spaces

From soyle to soyle, in thy long wandring traces.
