110.33b.001  %1Our storm is past, and that storms tyranous rage [sig.A5]
110.33b.002  A stupid calm, but nothing it doth swage;
110.33b.003  The fable is inverted, and far more,
110.33b.004  The block afflicts now, then the Stork before.
110.33b.005  Storms chafe, and soon wear out themselves, or us
110.33b.006  In calms, Heaven laughs, to see us languish thus%2.

110.33b.024  Dear freinds, which meet dead in great fishes maws:
