In Justinians Reign
The third yeare of Justinian brought a flood
In Venice, and in Italy, they take't
Since Noahs never Such: and Ruines scud
Ore men and beast, and towns are now enlak't.
Paths mard, wayes spoild, Athesis rose so high,
Verona's Walls in one part spoild thereby.

Rome's Tybur sweld so fast, its waves o're flow
Her walls. And in the Chanell of its Stream
A Monstrous Dragon with greate Store also
Of Serpents through Rome to the Sea did team.
A Dreadfull Plague did hereupon ensue
That Scarce a few live, of an Endless Crew.
