Yonder comes one of your own country. Oh I know him Sir.

Dear countryman the parley we late held About the land that bred us, as how order Was robbed of ceremony (the rich rob of order) How Truth was freckled, spotted, nay made leprous: How justice— Come, no more. Even now (as then) You ward blows off from her, that at all weapons Strikes at your head: but I repent we drew not That dialogue out to length, it was so sweet. (man At hours more opportune we shall: but country- I heard of late the music of my soul, And you the instrument are made that sounds it: 'tis given me, that yourself hath sealed to heaven A bond of your devotion, to go forth As champion of us all, in that good quarrel, That hath cost many lives. What need we use Circumgyrations, and such wheelings? Sir, Believe it, to recover our sick Nurse I'd kill the noblest foster-child she keeps. I know what bird you mean, & whom you hate, But let him stand to fall: no sir, the Deer Which we all hope you'll strike, is even the pride And glory of the Forest: So, or not? My vows are flown up, and it must be done, So this may be but settled. Do you stagger? All winds are not yet laid. Have you looked out For skilful coasters, that know all the sounds, The flats, and quick sands, and can safely land you Out of all touch of danger? I have met many, And like a consort they hold several tunes— But make they music? Faith a little jarring: Sometimes a string or so: yet reverend Palmio, And Hannibal a Codreto keep the stream In which I swim: the Nuntio Ragazzoni Plies me with wholesome physic; so the Nuntio, My honoured Friend Campeggio makes it clear, That it is lawful. Where at stick you then? At a small rock, (a dispensation.) You cannot want for hands to help you for In such a noble work your friends are near; (ward: Dear Countryman, my sword, my state, and honour, Are for your use, go on; and let no heat thaw your strong resolution, I shall see you, Before you take to Sea. You shall. My duty. This is the worthy Gentleman, to whom I wish your love endeer'de: we have some conference. Born Sir in Fairy Land? No marry Sir-An Albanois, Then for proximity Of Countries, let us interchange acquaintance, I wished for your embracements, for your name Is crowned with titles of integrity, judgement and Learning: let me upon their Bases Erect a pillar, by which Babylon, And all we may be strengthened. I pray be apert and plain.
