Loe! I am come, bewayling thy disgrace,

Art thou this Bourge, Bellona so enstalles

To be the mirrour for a Martiall face:

[VIII. 343.]I, sure its thou, whose bloody bathing bounds,

Gave death to thousands, and to thousands wounds.

What Hostile force, besieg’d thee poore Ostend?

With all Engine, that ever Warre devised:

What Martiall troupes, did valiantly defend

Thine earthen strengths, and Sconces unsurpris’d

By cruell assaults, and desperate defence,
