110.H08.HE1 %XA Calme. I.D.
110.H08.001 Our storme is past, & that stormes tyrannous rage
110.H08.002 A stupid calme; but nothing it doth swage:
110.H08.003 The fable is inuerted, & farr more
110.H08.004 A block afflicts vs now, then a storke before.
110.H08.005 Stormes chafe & soone weare out themselues or vs,
110.H08.006 In Calmes heauen laughes to see vs languish vs
110.H08.007 As steddy as I could wish, my thoughts were 
110.H08.008 Smooth as my Mistresse glasse, or what shynes there
110.H08.009 The sea is now; & as those Iles (w%5ch%6 wee
110.H08.010 Seeke when we can moue) our shipps rooted bee.
110.H08.011 As water did in stormes, now pitch runns out
110.H08.012 As leade when a fir'de Church becomes one spout;
110.H08.013 And all our beauty & our trim%Me decayes
110.H08.014 like courts remoueing, or like ended Playes.
110.H08.015 The fighting place now seamens raggs supply
110.H08.016 & all the tackling is a frippery.
110.H08.017 Noe vse of lanthornes, & in one place lay
110.H08.018 feathers & dust to day & yesterday.
110.H08.019 Earths hollownesses (which the worlds lungs are)
110.H08.020 haue noe more winde then th' vpper vault of th' aire
110.H08.021 We can nor lost freinds, nor sought foes recouer
110.H08.022 But Meteor=like (saue that we moue not) houer.
110.H08.023 Only the Calenture together drawes.
110.H08.024 Deere freinds w%5ch%6 meet dead in great fishes iawes.
110.H08.025 And on the hatches (as on Altars lyes)
110.H08.026 Each one his owne Preist, & owne sacrifice;
110.H08.027 Who liue, that miracle to multiply,
110.H08.028 Where walkers in hott ouens doe not dye;
110.H08.029 If in despight of this wee swimme, that hath
110.H08.030 Noe more refreshing then our brimstone bath; [f.15v]
110.H08.031 But from the sea into the shipp we turne
110.H08.032 like parboild wretches on the coales to burne;
110.H08.033 like Baiazet enrag'de (the shepheards scoffe)
110.H08.034 & like slack-sinew'd Samson (his haire off)
110.H08.035 Languish our shippes. Now as a Myriad 
110.H08.036 of Ants durst th' Empero%5rs%6 loued snake inuade,
110.H08.037 The crawling Gallyes, sea Goales, finny chipps
110.H08.038 might braue our Venices now bedd-ridd shipps.
110.H08.039 Whether a rotten state, or hope of gayne
110.H08.040 or to disuse mee fro%M the queasy payne 
110.H08.041 of being belou'de & loueing; or the thirst
110.H08.042 of honour or faire death out=pushd mee first,
110.H08.043 I loose my end; for here as well as I 
110.H08.044 A desperate man may liue, a coward dye.
110.H08.045 Stagg, dogg, & all w%5ch%6 from or towards vs flyes
110.H08.046 is payd with life or prey; or doing dyes.
110.H08.047 ffate grudges vs all, & doth subtely lay
110.H08.048 A scourge, 'gainst w%5ch%6 wee all forgett to pray.
110.H08.049 Hee that at sea prayes for more winde, as well
110.H08.050 Vnder the Pole may begg colde, heate in hell.
110.H08.051 What are wee then? how little more, alas
110.H08.052 Is man now then before he was? he was
110.H08.053 Nothing for vs, we are for nothing fitt,
110.H08.054 Chance or ourselues still disproportion it. 
110.H08.055 We haue nor will, nor power, nor sence, I lye.
110.H08.056 I should not then thus feele this misery.
