Now, vnder his Conduct, was hence vnto his Home conuaide
The Russian first Ambassadour, Heere honor'd whilst he staide.
Nor Captaine Ienkinson was there lesse graced, where he wrought
That all things to a wished end were for our Traffique brought.
Here hence also a friendly League twixt either Prince effected:
Nor little is their Amitie of vs to be respected:
For, though the Moscouites from vs be People farre remote,
Yeat, if how Danes and Norses haue inuaded vs we note,
And how the Russies, in the like Attempts, might hold them backe,
For onely it, were thence no Trade, ill might their Friendship lacke.
From Mosco then by Iournies long the Caspian Sea he crow,
Himselfe and Goods by Tartars oft in danger to be lost.
Their Hoordes of carted Tents like Townes which Camels drew, their Kings,
By names of Murses, Sultans, Cans, to whom for passe he brings
The Russian King his Letters, how (and royally they troe)
With Wild-horse flesh, and Mares milke him the Kings did banquet tho,
Their hawking for the Wild-horse (For their Hawks will seaze vpon
The horses necke, who chaffing tiers, and so is kild anon)
Their oft Remoues for Pastures fresh (nor Grasse their Pasture is,
But heathie Brush, few Cattell though doe thriue as theirs with this)
Their naither vse of Coyne, or Corne (for Tillage none is theare)
Such Warriors and Horse Archers as they liue not whom they feare,
Their crosse-leg eating on the ground, Pluralitie of wiues,
In Turkeman (So the whole is said) and more of their rude liues,
And how the Marchants trauailing by Carauan, that is,
Great Droues of laden Camels, Meate and Water often mis,
And how for vs did Ienkinson in Bactra Mart begin,
Let passe to passe to it for vs he did in Persia win.
Remembring this, that in Returne from Bactra diuers Kings
Sent in his charge their Legates, whom to Mosco safe he brings.
Thence did he sayle for England, Hence for Mosco backe againe,
And, with our Queene Elizabeth her letters, did obtaine
The Mosicks letters to the Kings by whom he then should pas
For Persian Traffique: And for this he thence imbarked was.
