110.C02.HE1 %XThe Calme.|
110.C02.001 Our Storme ys past, & y%5t%6 Stormes Tyrannous rage,
110.C02.002 A Stupyd Calme, but nothinge yt Doth swage.
110.C02.003 The Fable is inverted, And farr more, 
110.C02.004 A Block afflicts, now, Then a stroke%>st>>or<<ke before.| [CW:(Stormes.]
110.C02.005 Stormes chafe, and soone weare out themselves, or vs; [f.34v]
110.C02.006 In Calmes, heaven laughes to see vs languish Thus.
110.C02.007 As steady, as I can wish, y%5t%6 my Thoughts weare,
110.C02.008 Smooth as thy M%5rs%6 Glasse, or what Shines there,
110.C02.009 The Sea is now; And as the Iles w%5ch%6 wee
110.C02.010 Seeke, when wee can moove, our shipps rooted bee,
110.C02.011 As water did in Stormes, Now Pitch runs out
110.C02.012 As Leade, when a fir'd Church becomes one spout.
110.C02.013 And all our Beautye, and our Trimme decayes,
110.C02.014 Lyke Courts remooveinge, or lyke ended Playes.
110.C02.015 The fightinge place, now Seamens raggs supplye.
110.C02.016 And all the tacklinge is a Fripperye.
110.C02.017 Noe vse of lanthornes: And in one place lay
110.C02.018 Feathers and Dust, to day and yesterdaye.
110.C02.019 Earths hollownesses, w%5ch%6 the worldes lungs are.
110.C02.020 Haue noe more wynde, then the vpper valt of Ayre.
110.C02.021 Wee can nor left friends, nor sought Foes recover.
110.C02.022 But Meteorlyke, saue y%5t%6 wee moove not, hover.
110.C02.023 Onely the Calenture togeather drawes,
110.C02.024 Deare Freinds, w%5ch%6 meete deade in greate Fishes Iawes.
110.C02.025 And on the hatches, as on Alters lyes
110.C02.026 Each one, his owne Priest, and owne Sacrifice.
110.C02.027 Who live, that Miracle doe Multiplye
110.C02.028 Where walkers in hott ovens, doe not dye.
110.C02.029 Yf in despyte of these, wee swimme, that hath
110.C02.030 Noe more refreshinge, then our Brimstone Bath
110.C02.031 But from the Sea, into the Ship wee turne
110.C02.032 Lyke perboylld wretches, on y%5e%6 Coales to bourne,
110.C02.033 Lyke Baiazett encadg'd, y%5e%6 Shepheards scoffe,
110.C02.034 Or lyke slack sinew'd Sampson hys hayre of
110.C02.035 Languish our Ships; Now, as a Myriade
110.C02.036 Of Ants, durst y%5e%6 Emperors loved snake invade
110.C02.037 The Crawleinge Gallyes, Sea Iayles, Finny Chips
110.C02.038 Might brave our Venices, now bed rid Ships.
110.C02.039 Whether a rotten state, and hope of gayne
110.C02.040 Or to disvse mee, from the queasy Payne
110.C02.041 Of beinge belou'd, and loueinge, or the Thirst
110.C02.042 Of honor, or fayre death, outpusht Mee fyrst, [CW:I#loose.|]
110.C02.043 I loose my end: For here, as well as I [f.35]
110.C02.044 A desperate may liue, and a Coward dye.
110.C02.045 Stagg, dogg, and All w%5ch%6 from, or towards flyes
110.C02.046 Is payd w%5th%6 lyfe, or pray, or doeinge dyes.
110.C02.047 Fate grudges vs all, and doth subt'ly laye
110.C02.048 A scourge, 'gainst w%5ch%6 wee all forgett to pray.
110.C02.049 Hee y%5t%6 at Sea prayes for more wynde, as well
110.C02.050 Vnder the Poles may begg coulld heate in Hell.
110.C02.051 What are wee then? How little more alas
110.C02.052 Is Man now, then before he was, he was?
110.C02.053 Nothinge for vs, wee are for nothinge fytt
110.C02.054 Chance, or ourselves still disproportion ytt.
110.C02.055 Wee haue noe power, noe will, noe sence, I lye
110.C02.056 I shoulld not then thus feele thys Myserye.|
