110.O21.0HE  %XCalme [CW:om]
110.O21.001  O%5r%6 storme is past and that stormes tyran%Mous rage [216]
110.O21.002  a stupid Calme, but nothing itt doth asswage.
110.O21.003  y%5e%6 fable is inuerted, and farre more
110.O21.004  A block inflictes vs now then a storke before
110.O21.005  stormes chafe, and soone weare out y%Mselues or vs
110.O21.006  In Calmes heauen laugh's[sic] to see vs languish thus
110.O21.007  as stedy as I can wish y%5t%6 my thoughts weare
110.O21.008  smooth; as my M%5rs%6 glasse, or w%5t%6: shines there
110.O21.009  y%5e%6 sea is now; & as those Isles w%5ch%6 wee
110.O21.010  Seeke w%5n%6 weo[sic] can moue, w%5n%6 o%5r%6 ships rooted bee
110.O21.011  as water did in stormes; now pitch run%Ms out,
110.O21.012  as lead when a fir'd church became a spout,
110.O21.013  & all o%5r%6 beautyes; & o%5r%6 trymme; decayes
110.O21.014  like Courts remouing; or like ended playes
110.O21.015  the fighting place; now sea-mens rage supply
110.O21.016  and all the tacklings is a frippery.
110.O21.017  No vse of lanthornes, & in one place lay
110.O21.018  ffeathers and dust; to day and yesterday;
110.O21.019  Earths hollownes; in w%5c%6 the worldes lungs are
110.O21.020  haue no more wind: then the vpper vault of aire
110.O21.021  wee can nor left frendes; nor sought foes recouer
110.O21.022  but Meteor like; (saue y%5t%6 wee moue not) hover, [CW:om]
110.O21.023  Onely the Calenture together drawes [217]
110.O21.024  Deade%>>Deare< frindes; w%5ch%6 meet dead in great fishes mawes
110.O21.025  & on the Hatches, as on Altars lyes
110.O21.026  each one, his owne priest; and owne sacrifice
110.O21.027  who liue; that miracle doe multiply
110.O21.028  where walkers; in hott Ovens doe not dye
110.O21.029  If in despite of this one swim%Me; he hath
110.O21.030  no more refreshing: then >%Vin< a brimstone bath-
110.O21.031  But from the sea into the ship: we turne
110.O21.032  like parboyld; wretches, on the Coles to burne
110.O21.033  like Baiazett incag'd the sheapheardes scoffe
110.O21.034  and like slack-sinued Sampson his haire off
110.O21.035  languish o%5r%6 ships; now as a Myriade.
110.O21.036  of Ants; durst the Emperors snake inuade
110.O21.037  The Crawling gallyes; seagoales finny s%>>c<hips
110.O21.038  might braue o%5r%6 venices; o%5r%6 bedrid ships
110.O21.039  whether a rotten state, or hope of gaine
110.O21.040  or to disvse mee from the queasy paine
110.O21.041  of being beloued or louing; or the %Yfirst%Z thirst,
110.O21.042  of honno%5r%6 or fair death; out pusht mee first,
110.O21.043  I loose my end for heere as well as I
110.O21.044  a desperate may saue a Coward dy.
110.O21.045  stagge: dog: & all w%5ch%6 from or towardes flyes [CW:om]
110.O21.046  is payd w%5th%6 life, or pray; or doing dyes. [218]
110.O21.047  ffate grudgeth vs all; and so doth subtly lay
110.O21.048  a scourge 'g%5t%6: w%5ch%6 wee all forgett to pray
110.O21.049  Hee that at sea prayes for more wind as well
110.O21.050  vnder the poles, may beg cold, heat in hell.
110.O21.051  w%5t%6 are wee then: or how little more alasse
110.O21.052  is man now: then before he was? he was
110.O21.053  Nothing for vs wee are for nothing fitt
110.O21.054  Chance, or o%5r%6selues still disproportion it
110.O21.055  wee haue no will: no power: no sence; I lye
110.O21.056  I should not y%5n%6 thus feele this misery:
