iv. Of my Lord of Galloway his learned Commentary on the Reuelation.

[_]

[Prefixed to “PATHMOS; OR A COMMENTARY ON THE REVELATION OF SAINT IOHN,” by William Cowper, Bishop of Galloway. London, 1619, 4to.]

To this admir'd Discouerer giue place,
Yee who first tam'd the Sea, the Windes outranne,
And match'd the Dayes bright Coach-man in your race,
Americus, Columbus, Magellan.
It is most true that your ingenious care
And well-spent paines another world brought forth,
For Beasts, Birds, Trees, for Gemmes and Metals rare,
Yet all being earth, was but of earthly worth.
Hee a more precious World to vs descryes,
Rich in more Treasure then both Indes containe,
Faire in more beauty then mans witte can faine,
Whose Sunne not sets, whose people neuer dies.
Earth shuld your Brows deck with stil-verdant Bayes,
But Heauens crowne his with Stars immortall rayes.
Master William Drumond of Hawthorn-denne.
