A race
Of proud-lined loiterers, that never sow,
Nor put a plant in earth, nor use a plough.
As night the life-inclining stars best shows,
So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.
The seas retain
Not only their outrageous esture there,
But supernatural mischief they expire.
You shall die
Twice now, where others, that mortality
In her fair arms holds, shall but once decease.
Nor could the foole abstaine,
But drunke as often.
Nothing so sweete is as our countrie’s earth,
And joy of those from whom we claime our birth.
Soon as the white and red mix’d finger’d dame
Had gilt the mountains with her saffron flame.
Two eagles, ...
That mounted on the winds, together still
Their strokes extended.
