110.C05.HE1  %XThe Calme.
110.C05.001  Our storme is paste, and that stormes tyranouse rage
110.C05.002  A stuped Calme; but nothinge yt doeth swage,
110.C05.003  the fable is inuerted, and farr more,
110.C05.004  A blocke afflicts nowe, then a storke before.
110.C05.005  stormes Chafe and soone weare out themselues ar%>>or< vs,
110.C05.006  In Calmes heauens laugh, to see vs langushe[sic] thusee[sic]
110.C05.007  As stedye as I Can wishe that my thoughts weare,
110.C05.008  Smooth as thy mistrisse glasse, or what shines theare.
110.C05.009  The sea is nowe: And as these Iles which wee
110.C05.010  Seeke, when we Can moue, our shippes rooted bee.
110.C05.011  As watter did in stormes, nowe pitche runes out
110.C05.012  as leade when a fyrd Church becomes one spoute.
110.C05.013  and all our beautyes and our trim decayes,
110.C05.014  like Courtes remouinge, or like ended playes.
110.C05.015  The fightinge place the seae mens raggs supplie,
110.C05.016  and all the tacklinge is a fripperye.
110.C05.017  Noe vse of Anckors: And in one place laye,
110.C05.018  ffeathers and dust to day and yesterdaye.
110.C05.019  earthes hollownesse, which the worldes lunges are,
110.C05.020  Haue noe more winde then the vpper vault of ayre.
110.C05.021  We Can noe[sic] lefte freindes, nor sought foes recouer;
110.C05.022  but metorlike[sp:sic] (saue that we moue not) houer.
110.C05.023  onelye the Calenture together drawes;
110.C05.024  Deare freindes, which meete deade in greate fishes iawes.
110.C05.025  And one the hatches, as one Altars, lyes
110.C05.026  Each one his owne Preiste, and owne sacrefise. [CW:om]
110.C05.027  Whoe liue, that miracle doe multiplye, [f.74]
110.C05.028  Wheare walkers in hott ouens doe not dye.
110.C05.029  Yf in despite of this we swimm, that hath
110.C05.030  Noe more refreshinge then our Brimstone bath
110.C05.031  But from the seae into the seae we turne /[l.33,canceled]
110.C05.032  like parboylde wretches one the Coales to burne.
110.C05.033  Like %1Baiazet%2 encaged, the shepheards scoffe,
110.C05.034  And like slacke sinewd Samson his hayre offe
110.C05.035  Langushe[sic] our shippes. nowe as a myriade;
110.C05.036  of Ants durst the Emperors loud snake inuade.
110.C05.037  The Craulinge gallyes, seae goales, finny Chippes
110.C05.038  might braue our pinnaces, nowe bedrid shippes.
110.C05.039  Whether a rotten state, and hope of gayne
110.C05.040  or to disuze me from the queasye payne.
110.C05.041  of beinge beloued and louinge, or the thirste                                              
110.C05.042  of honor or fayre death out pushed me firste  
110.C05.043  I loose my ende; for heare as well as I       
110.C05.044  A desprate may liue, and a Cowarde dye.       
110.C05.045  stagge dog and all which from or towards flyes
110.C05.046  Is payde with lyfe, or pray, or doeinge dyes. 
110.C05.047  ffate grudgeth vs all, and doeth subtly laye
110.C05.048  A scourge gaynst which we all forgett to praye.
110.C05.049  Hee that at seae prayes for more winde, as well
110.C05.050  Vnder the Poles may begg Colde, hell%>>heate< in hell.
110.C05.051  What are we then? howe litle more alas
110.C05.052  Is man nowe then before he was. he was.
110.C05.053  Nothinge for vs, we are for nothinge fitte
110.C05.054  Chance or our selues still disproportion it
110.C05.055  We haue noe will nor power, nor sence, I lye
110.C05.056  I should not then, thus feell this miserye.
