Gang ye lads and lasses, Sa wimble and sa wight: Fewle mickle teen betide ye, If ye lig in this plight. be bonny, buxom, jolly. Trip haydegues believe: And give night gars the welkin merk Tom piper do you believe. Hidder, eke and shidder, With spiced sow ycrammed; Sa that uneath thilk barrels May well ne yede, ne stand: As lief as life do weet it, When timbarins gin sound; Fore harvest gil pranked up in lathe, To lout it low around. A Story is't, or fable; That stern Mars, Thy weight did Romulus sleepy mother press? Since we thy Brood degenerous, stand at gaze, Charmed in the circle of a foaming flood, And trail our dastard pikes? Burst Ianus prison, Roar as thou didst at Troy, drown Stentours voice By many eights, which Pindus may re-beat, Which Caucasus may as a Catch repeat, And Taurus lough the fame: That Pigmies small May squeak, It thunders, and dive into burroughs. Let the four winds with dreadful clamour sing Thy anger through the affrighted world. What Lemnian chain shackles our mounting Eagle? The moon's round Concave is too straight a cage For her advanced Pinions. If pity can have room in angry breast, Favour a Britain Prince, his Father slain, His regiment bereft, his dearest blood Drawn by the sword of false Cassibelane. Having got Crown, he then struck at my head: Nor can I safely suck my native air. His Coosse Androgeus also, and whole regions In open war withstand his violence. Lo, Albion's aged arms spread wide t'enchain Thee as her Patron, in a true-Love knot. Wherefore dread Caesar, let thy mercy strike Revengeful fire; and be justly styled, Tamer of Tyrants. Then fame blows aloud, When valour helps the weak, pulls down the proud. Arise unhappy Prince, our deeds shall show, We grant thy suit. Fortune repents at last; The Moon is changed, the Globe doth to us turn Her shining cheek, and woes us with a smile. But what firm signs of Faith, what faithful aid, What furtherance can you give at our arrival? See here Androgeus' heir, whose tender age His Father venters, and makes bold with nature, To pledge his Darling. He and thirty more Of noble lineage shall assure our faith: Besides I pawn my life. Enough. I'll once more cross the Seas, For your good, more than mine; That happier sky May bless your Towns with peace, your fields with plenty; Perpetual spring in gay perfumed attire, Surname your I'll, the Garden of the West. Thanks, gracious Caesar, for this kind acceptance, My knee doth kiss the ground, my lip your knee. Pardon ye gods, if any haunt our land, Ye Nymphs, and Lares, Fawns, and Silvanes wild; That thus I bring a stranger on our coasts, Whose foreign shape and language, may affright Our lazy clowns, and on my country's back Once tread victorious steps: Be pleased to view, Wrongs now redressed, neglected first by you.

Gang ye lads and lasses, Sa wimble and sa wight: Fewle mickle teene betide ye, If ye ligg in this plight. Bee bonny, buxome, iolly. Trip haydegues beliue: And gif night gars the welkin merk Tom piper doe you blive. Hidder, eke and shidder, With spiced sow ycramd; Sa that vnneath thilke borrells May well ne yede, ne stand: As leefe as life doe weete it, When timbarins gin sound; Fore haruest gil prankt vp in lathe, To loute it low around. A Story ist, or fable; That sterne Mars, Thy waight did Romulus sleepy mother presse? Since we thy Brood degenerous, stand at gaze, Charm'd in the circle of a foaming flood, And traile our dastard pikes? Burst Ianus prison, Roare as thou didst at Troy, drowne Stentors voice By many eights, which Pindus may re-beate, Which Caucasus may as a Catch repeate, And Taurus lough the fame: That Pygmees small May squeake, It thunders, and diue into burroughs. Let the foure winds with dreadfull clamour sing Thy anger through the affrighted world. What Lemnian chaine shackles our mounting Eagle? The Moone's round Concaue is too strait a cage For her aduanced Pineons. If pitty can haue roome in angry breast, Fauour a Britaine Prince, his Father slaine, His regiment bereft, his dearest blood Drawne by the sword of false Cassibelane. Hauing got Crowne, he then strucke at my head: Nor can I safely sucke my natiue aire. His Coosse Androgeus also, and whole regions In open warre withstand his violence. Lo, Albions aged armes spread wide t'inchaine Thee as her Patrone, in a true-loue knot. Wherefore dread Caesar, let thy mercy strike Reuengefull fire; and be iustly stil'd, Tamer of Tyrants. Then fame blowes aloud, When valour helpes the weake, pulles downe the proud. Arise vnhappy Prince, our deeds shall show, We grant thy suite. Fortune repents at last; The Moone is chang'd, the Globe doth to vs turne Her shining cheeke, and woes vs with a smile. But what firme signes of Faith, what faithfull aide, What furtherance can you giue at our arriuall? See here Androgeus heire, whose tender age His Father venters, and makes bold with nature, To pledge his Darling. He and thirtie more Of noble linage shall assure our faith: Besides I pawne my life. Enough. I'le once more crosse the Seas, For your good, more than mine; That happier skie May blesse your Townes with peace, your fields with plentie; Perpetuall spring in gay perfum'd attire, Sirname your Ile, the Garden of the West. Thanks, gracious Caesar, for this kind acceptance, My knee doth kisse the ground, my lippe your knee. Pardon ye gods, if any haunt our land, Ye Nymphes, and Lares, Fawnes, and Silvanes wild; That thus I bring a stranger on our coasts, Whose forraine shape and language, may affright Our lazie clownes, and on my Countries backe Once tread victorious steps: Be pleas'd to view, Wrongs now redrest, neglected first by you.
