110.SP1.HE1  %XThe Calme.
110.SP1.001  O%+ur Storme is past, and that Stormes tyrannous rage
110.SP1.002  A stupid Calme, but nothing it doth swage.
110.SP1.003  The fable is inverted, and farr more [CW:A.]
110.SP1.004  A Block afflicts, now then a Storke before [f.43v]
110.SP1.005  Stormes chafe, and soone weane[sic] out themselves, or vs
110.SP1.006  In calmes, Heaven laughes, to see vs languish thus
110.SP1.007  As steady, as I can w%5th%6[sic] y%5t%6 my thoughts weare
110.SP1.008  Smooth as thy M:%5rs%6 Glasse, or what shines theare
110.SP1.009  The sea is now, And as theis Isles w%5ch%6 wee
110.SP1.010  Seeke, when we can move, our Ships rooted be
110.SP1.011  As water did in stormes, now pitch runs out
110.SP1.012  As lead when a fird church becomes one spout
110.SP1.013  And all our bewty and our trimme decaies
110.SP1.014  Like courts removeing, or like ended plaies.
110.SP1.015  The fighting place, now seamens rags supply
110.SP1.016  And all the tackling is a ffrippery
110.SP1.017  No vse of lanthornes, and in one place lay
110.SP1.018  feathers, and dust, to day, and yesterday
110.SP1.019  Earths hollownesses, w%5ch%6 the worlds lungs are
110.SP1.020  Have no more winde, then thupper valt of aire,
110.SP1.021  We can nor left freinds, nor sought foes recove%5r%6,
110.SP1.022  But Meteorlike, saue y%5t%6 we move not, houer
110.SP1.023  Only the Callenture togeather drawes
110.SP1.024  Deere freindes, w%5ch%6 meete dead in great fishes jawes[yes,j]
110.SP1.025  And on y%5e%6 hatches, as on Alters lies
110.SP1.026  Each one, his owne preest, & his owne sacrifice
110.SP1.027  Who live y%5t%6 miracle to multiply [CW:When]
110.SP1.028  When walkers in hott ovens do not dye [f.(44)]
110.SP1.029  If in dispite of theis, wee swimme y%5t%6 hath
110.SP1.030  No more refreshing, then our brimstone bath
110.SP1.031  But from the sea into the shipp we turne
110.SP1.032  Like perboyld wretches on the coales to burne
110.SP1.033  Like Baiazett encagd, y%5e%6 Shepards scoffe
110.SP1.034  Or like slack sinewed Sampson, his haire of
110.SP1.035  Languish our ships, Now as a Myriade
110.SP1.036  Of Ants, durst y%5e%6 Emperor loved Snake invade,
110.SP1.037  The crawling Gallies, Sea Iailes, finny chipps
110.SP1.038  Might braue o%5r%6 venices, now bedrid shipps
110.SP1.039  Wheather a rotten State, and hope of gaine
110.SP1.040  Or to dispise me, from the queasy paine
110.SP1.041  Of being beloved, and loving, or y%5e%6 thirst
110.SP1.042  Of honor, or faire death, outpusht me first,
110.SP1.043  I loose my end, for heare aswell[sic] as I
110.SP1.044  A desperate may live, and a Coward dye
110.SP1.045  Stagg, dogg, and all, w%5ch%6 from, or towardes flies
110.SP1.046  Is paid w%5th%6 life, or pray, or doing dies
110.SP1.047  Fate grudges vs all, and doth subtly lay
110.SP1.048  A Scourge, gainst w%5ch%6 we all forgett to pray,
110.SP1.049  He y%5t%6 at sea praies for more winde, as will[sic]
110.SP1.050  Vnder the poles may beg cold, heat in hell,
110.SP1.051  What are wee then, how little more alas [CW:Is]
110.SP1.052  Is man now, then before he was, he was, [f.(44v)
110.SP1.053  Nothing for vs wee are for nothing fitt
110.SP1.054  Chance or ourselves still disproporto%Mn it,
110.SP1.055  Wee haue noe power, noe will, noe sense, I lye
110.SP1.056  I should not then, thus feele this misery,|
