1. Sonnet.

From Zeal-Land, sayling with the Winde of Loue,
In the Bark Labovr, steer'd by Theorems,
Laden with Hope, and with Desire t'approue,
Bound for Cape-Comfort in the Ile of Iemmes;
In such a Mist wee fell vpon the Coast,
That suddenly vpon the Rock Neglect
(Vnhappily) our Ship and Goods we lost,
Even in a Place that we did lease suspect.
So, Cast-away (my Liege) and quight vn-don,
We Orphan-remnants of a woefull Wrack,
Heer cast a-shore, to Thee for succour run:
O Pittie vs, for our deer Parent's sake;
Who Honour'd Thee, both in his Life and Death,
And to thy guard his Posthvmes did bequeath.
