But this our sauing ship, by floating euery where,
Now vnd'r a Southern Crosse, now vnd'r a Northen Beare,
And thwarting all this while so many a diuers Clime,
Shewes all the world is wrapt in generall abysme.
Now vnd'r a Southern Crosse, now vnd'r a Northen Beare,
And thwarting all this while so many a diuers Clime,

To hold-in so much ayre, as into water tri'de,
Might heale the proudest heights; when hardly a violl's fil'd
With water drop by drop of ten-fould aire dystil'd?
