110.HH1.0HE  A Calme described
110.HH1.001  Our Storme is past & the stormes tyrannous rage
110.HH1.002  a stupid calme, but nothing it can assuage,
110.HH1.003  The fable is inverted; & farr more
110.HH1.004  A Block afflicts now, then a stork before.
110.HH1.005  Stormes chafe & soone weare out themselues, & vs
110.HH1.006  In calmes Heavens laughs to see vs languish thus
110.HH1.007  As steddie as I could wish, my thoughts were
110.HH1.008  smoothe as thy Mistres glass, or what shynes ther
110.HH1.009  the Sea is now, & as those Isles which wee
110.HH1.010  seek when wee can move, Our Shippe rooted%>ro>>%Yo%Z<<ted bee
110.HH1.011  As water did in stormes, now pitch rvnns out
110.HH1.012  lyke lead, when a fyerd Church becomes one spout
110.HH1.013  and all our beautie, & our trym decayes
110.HH1.014  like Courts removing, or like ended playes
110.HH1.015  The fighting place, the Seamans raggs supply
110.HH1.016  and all our tacklings is a frippery
110.HH1.017  No vse of Lanthornes, & in one place laye
110.HH1.018  feathers & dust, today & ysterday[sic]
110.HH1.019  Earthes hollow%Ynes%Z>>%Vcauernes<< which the world%Ylings%Z>>%Vlonngs<< are
110.HH1.020  Have no more wind then the vpper valt of y%5e%6 >>sh<<ayre.
110.HH1.021  wee can, nor lost frends nor sought foes recover
110.HH1.022  but Meteor like (save that wee move not) hover
110.HH1.023  Onelie the Calenture together drawes
110.HH1.024  dead frends w%5ch%6 mette%>>>meete<< dead in the fishes Iawes
110.HH1.025  And on the hatches as on Alters lyes [CW:om]
110.HH1.026  Each one his owne Priest, & one Sacrifice [f.105]
110.HH1.027  who lyves the myracle doth multiplie
110.HH1.028  where walkers in %Yw%Zhot Ovens do not dye
110.HH1.029  If (in dispite of this) wee swymme that hath
110.HH1.030  that hath no more refreshing then o%5r%6 Brimston bathe
110.HH1.031  but from the Sea, into the Sea we turne,
110.HH1.032  like parboyld wretches on the coales to burne
110.HH1.033  like Baiazett incag'd (the Shepards scoff)
110.HH1.034  and like slack sin>i%>e<wed Sampson (his hayre off [no")"]
110.HH1.035  languish our Shipps, now as a Myriade
110.HH1.036  of Ants durst the Emperors >>%Vloue<< Snake inuade
110.HH1.037  The crawling Gallyes, Sea-snayles fennise Chips
110.HH1.038  migh%5t%6 brave our Pynnices bedd ridden Shipps,
110.HH1.039  whether a rotten state or hope of gayne,
110.HH1.040  or to disuse my selfe from the quesy payne
110.HH1.041  of being beloved, or loving, or the thirst
110.HH1.042  of honor, faire death, out-pushed mee first
110.HH1.043  I loose my end; for heere as well as I
110.HH1.044  a desperat may live, a Coward dye
110.HH1.045  Staggs, Doggs & each w%5ch%6 from, or towards flyes

110.HH1.047  fo[%1blot%2]tigrutcheth vs all, & subtilty doth laye
110.HH1.048  a scourge, gainst w%5ch%6 wee all forgett to pray
110.HH1.049  Hee that at Sea prayes for more winde, as well
110.HH1.050  vnder the Pole, may begg colde; heate in Hell
110.HH1.051  what are wee then, how little more, alas
110.HH1.052  is man now, then before hee was, hee was? [CW:om]
110.HH1.053  Nothing for vs, wee are for nothing f>e%>y<tt [f.105v]
110.HH1.054  Channce, or our selves still disproportion it
110.HH1.055  wee have, nor will, nor po>**%>w<er, nor sence, I lye
