And now came roring to the tied, the Tide
All the Neireides deckt in all their pride
Mounted on Dolphins, roade to see their wreake
The waues fom'd with their enuies; that did speake
In mutest fishes, with their leapes aloft
For brutish ioy of the reuenge they sought.
The people greedie of disastrous sights
And newes, (the food of idle appetites
From the kings Chamber, straight knew his intent,
And almost his resolu'd thoughts did preuent
Jn drie waues beating thicke about the Shore
And then came on the prodegie, that bore
Jn one masse mixt their Image; that still spread
A thousand bodies vnder one sole head
Of one minde still to ill all ill men are
Strange sights and mischiefes fit the Populare.
