[Fragment III]
[So when a Storme is ceast that vext ye Maine]
So when a Storme is ceast that vext ye Maine,
The scarce appeased Waves doe yet retaine
A grudgeing Murmur still, and fainting gales
Loath yet to dye breath in the flagging sayles.
The scarce appeased Waves doe yet retaine
A grudgeing Murmur still, and fainting gales
Loath yet to dye breath in the flagging sayles.
To a bull striveing to obtaine the Mastery
over another and vanquished.
[OMITTED]
over another and vanquished.
Repulst by his stout foe comes grumbling home,
Chafeing to think he should be overcome.
Chafeing to think he should be overcome.
