V. King James his Verse in his Voyage to Denmarke.
Sonet
Ye surging sees, and ye Inconstant wynds
Who stayes the course of my Expecting hope
Go Calme your selfs, be constant by your kynds
let not your stormes nor Chainge or cross my scope
Who stayes the course of my Expecting hope
Go Calme your selfs, be constant by your kynds
let not your stormes nor Chainge or cross my scope
Bot thole my Ioyes sa happelye begun
to settell thame within an portt of rest
And cleir the darknes of the cludds o sun
that thairbye may thy powar be exprest
O Moone whose Influence dois reul the tyde
stay thou the streames whose force my course would stay
and you O polls that ar the heauens high pryde
Lamps of the Night Extend your help I pray
and plese you all to slyde In Eache degree
ye polls thou tyde ye moone sun winds and see
to settell thame within an portt of rest
And cleir the darknes of the cludds o sun
that thairbye may thy powar be exprest
O Moone whose Influence dois reul the tyde
stay thou the streames whose force my course would stay
and you O polls that ar the heauens high pryde
Lamps of the Night Extend your help I pray
and plese you all to slyde In Eache degree
ye polls thou tyde ye moone sun winds and see
