De Gentium confluxu & congratulatione, Epig. 3.
What Nation's so remote or barbarousThat has not some spectator here with us?
The Thracian High-shooe from Mount Hæmus comes,
And Russians that in bloud pick up their crums,
He that sips the first streams of suddain Nile
And he that in the utmost Sea doth toyle.
Th'Arabian and Sabæans hither beat,
And moist Cilicians in their unguents sweat.
The Germans with their hair curld in a ring
And th'otherwise crisp'd Moores their presence bring.
The voyce sounds divers, but the votes agree
When Rome's true Father thou art said to bee.
