110.VA1.HE1  %XThe Calme.|
110.VA1.001  Our storme is past, and that storms tyrranous rage
110.VA1.002  A [word-space] calme but nothinge it doth swage
110.VA1.003  The fable is inverted, and farre more
110.VA1.004  A blocke afflicts now, then a storcke before
110.VA1.005  Stormes chafe, and rage soone wear out themselus or vs
110.VA1.006  In Calms. Heauens laugh to see vs lauguish thus
110.VA1.007  As steady as I can wish that my thoughts were
110.VA1.008  Smooth as thy M.%5rs%6 glasse (or what shynes ther)
110.VA1.009  The sea is now, and as those, Iles w%5ch%6 wee
110.VA1.010  Seeke (when wee can moue) o%5r%6 sheeps[sic] rooted bee
110.VA1.011  As water did in storms, now pitch runns out
110.VA1.012  As lead when a fy>e<rd Church becums a spowt
110.VA1.013  And all o%5r%6 bewty, and o%5r%6 tryme decayes
110.VA1.014  Like Courtes remoueinge, or lyke ended playes [CW:(The...|]
110.VA1.015  The fightinge place the Sea mans raggs supply [f.13v]
110.VA1.016  And all the tacklinge is fripperye.|
110.VA1.017  Noe vse of lanthornes, and in one place lay
110.VA1.018  feathe%5rs%6 and Dust to day; and yesterday
110.VA1.019  Earths hallownesses w%5ch%6 the worlds lungs are
110.VA1.020  Haue noe more winde then the vpper vault of ayre
110.VA1.021  We can nor lost freinds, nor sought foes recouer
110.VA1.022  But Meteor like (saue that we moue not) houer
110.VA1.023  Only the Callenture togeather drawes
110.VA1.024  Deer freindes w%5ch%6 meet dead in fishes Iawes
110.VA1.025  And on [om] hatches, as on Alte.%5rs%6 lyes
110.VA1.026  Eeach one his owne preist, and owne sacrifice
110.VA1.027  Who liue that miracle doe multeply
110.VA1.028  Wher walke.%5rs%6 in hote ouens doe not dye
110.VA1.029  If in dispight of this wee swime, that hath
110.VA1.030  Noe more refreshinge then o%5r%6 brymstone bath
110.VA1.031  But from the Sea into the Sea we turne
110.VA1.032  Lyke Parboyld wretches in the Sea to burne
110.VA1.033  Like %1Bairet%2[sic] enragd (the Sheppards scoffe)
110.VA1.034  And like slacke-sinnowed Sampson, his hayre of
110.VA1.035  Languish o%5r%6 shipps. Now as a Myryade
110.VA1.036  Of Ants Durst the Empero.%5rs%6 lou'd snake invade
110.VA1.037  The Crawlinge galleys, sea sayles, fynny Chipps
110.VA1.038  Might braue o%5r%6 %1venires%2,[sic] now beddryde ships
110.VA1.039  Whether a rotten state, or hope of gaine
110.VA1.040  Or to Disuse me from the queasy payne
110.VA1.041  Of beinge belou%Ye%Zd, and loueinge, or the thirst
110.VA1.042  Of hono%5r%6, or faire Death out pusht me first
110.VA1.043  I loose myne end, for here as well as I
110.VA1.044  A desperat may liue, and a coward dye
110.VA1.045  Stagge dogge, and each, w%5ch%6 from or towards flyes
110.VA1.046  Is payd w%5th%6 lyfe or pray, or w%5th%6 doing dyes [CW: fate]
110.VA1.047  Fate grudgeth vs all, and doeth subtelly lay [f.14]
110.VA1.048  A scourge gainst w%5ch%6 wee all forgett to p%5r%6ay
110.VA1.049  Hee that at Sea prayes, for more wynd as well
110.VA1.050  Vnder the pole may begg Cold heat in hell
110.VA1.051  What ar wee then? how little mor alas
110.VA1.052  Is man now then before he was, he was
110.VA1.053  Nothinge for vs we ar for nothinge fitt
110.VA1.054  Chaunce, o%5r%6>r<[sic] o%5r%6selues still Disproportion it
110.VA1.055  We haue, nor will, nor power, nor sence I lye
110.VA1.056  I should not then thus feele this missery.|
