At length the snail doth climb the highest tops, Ascending up the stately castle walls, At length the water with continual drops, Doth penetrate the hardest marble stone, At length we are arrived in Albion, Nor could the barbarous Dacian sovereign, Nor yet the ruler of brave Belgia Stay us from cutting over to this isle, Whereas I hear a troup of Phrygians Under the conduct of Postumia's son, Have pitched up lordly pavilions, And hope to prosper in this lovely I'll: But I will frustrate all their foolish hope, And teach them that the Scythian Emperor Leads fortune tied in a chain of gold, Constraining her to yield unto his will, And grace him with their regal diadem: Which I will have maugre their treble hosts, And all the power their petty kings can make. If she that rules fair Rhamnis golden gate Grant us the honour of the victory, As hitherto she always favoured us, Right noble father, we will rule the land, Enthronized in seats of topaz stones, That Locrine and his brethren all may know, None must be king but Humber and his son. Courage my son, fortune shall favour us, And yield to us the coronet of bay, That decketh none but noble conquerors: But what saith Estrild to these regions? How liketh she the temperature thereof, Are they not pleasant in her gracious eyes? The plains my Lord garnished with Flora's wealth And overspread with party coloured flowers, Do yield sweet contentation to my mind, The airy hills enclosed with shady groves, The groves replenished with sweet chirping birds, The birds resounding heavenly melody, Are equal to the groves of Thessaly, Where Phoebus with the learned Ladies nine, Delight themselves with music harmony, And from the moisture of the mountain tops, The silent springs dance down with murmuring streams, And water all the ground with crystal waves, The gentle blasts of Eurus modest wind, Moving the pittering leaves of Siluanes woods, Do equal it with Tempe's paradise, And thus comforted all to one effect, Do make me think these are the happy Isles, Most fortunate, if Humber may them win. Madam, where resolution leads the way, And courage follows with emboldened pace, Fortune can never use her tyranny, For valiantness is like unto a rock That standeth in the waves of Ocean, Which though the billows beat on every side, And Borras fell with his tempestuous storms, Bloweth upon it with a hideous clamour, Yet it remaineth still unmovable. Kingly resolved thou glory of thy sire, But worthy Segar what uncouth novelties Bringst thou unto our royal majesty? My Lord, the youngest of all Brutus' sons, Stout Albanact, with millions of men, Approacheth nigh, and meaneth ere the morn, To try your force by dint of fatal sword.

At length the snale doth clime the highest tops, Asceding vp the stately castle walls, At length the water with continuall drops, Doth penetrate the hardest marble stone, At length we are arriued in Albion, Nor could the barbarous Dacian soueraigne, Nor yet the ruler of braue Belgia Staie vs from cutting ouer to this Ile, Whereas I heare a troope of Phrigians Vnder the conduct of Postumis sonne, Haue pitched vp lordly pauillions, And hope to prosper in this louely Ile: But I will frustrate all their foolish hope, And teach them that the Scithian Emperour Leades fortune tied in a chaine of gold, Constraining her to yeeld vnto his will, And grace him with their regall diademe: Which I will haue maugre their treble hoasts, And all the power their pettie kings can make. If she that rules faire Rhanis golden gate Graunt vs the honour of the victorie, As hitherto she alwaies fauourd vs, Right noble father, we will rule the land, Enthronized in seates of Topace stones, That Locrine and his brethren all may know, None must be king but Humber and his sonne. Courage my sonne, fortune shall fauour vs, And yeeld to vs the coronet of bay, That decketh none but noble conquerours: But what saith Estrild to these regions? How liketh she the temperature thereof, Are they not pleasant in her gratious eies? The plaines my Lord garnisht with Floras welth And ouerspred with party colored flowers, Do yeeld sweet contentation to my mind, The aierie hills enclosd with shadie groues, The groues replenisht with sweet chirping birds, The birds resounding heauenly melodie, Are equall to the groues of Thessaly, Where Phaebus with the learned Ladies nine, Delight themselues with musicke harmonie, And from the moisture of the mountaine tops, The silent springs daunce downe with murmuring streams, And water al y• ground with cristal waues, The gentle blasts of Eurus modest winde, Mouing the pittering leaues of Siluanes woods, Do equall it with Tempes paradice, And thus comforted all to one effect, Do make me thinke these are the happie Iles, Most fortunate, if Humber may them winne. Madam, where resolution leads the way, And courage followes with imboldened pace, Fortune can neuer vse her tyrannie, For valiantnesse is like vnto a rocke That standeth in the waues of Ocean, Which though the billowes beat on euery side, And Borras fell with his tempestuous stormes, Bloweth vpon it with a hideous clamour, Yet it remaineth still vnmooueable. Kingly resolu'd thou glorie of thy sire, But worthie Segar what vncoth nouelties Bringst thou vnto our royall maiestie? My Lord, the yoongest of all Brutus sonnes, Stout Albanct, with millions of men, Approcheth nigh, and meaneth ere the morne, To trie your force by dint of atall sword.
