To his friend and neighbour Maister John Taylor.

Fierce Neptunes wrath, and Eol's angry spleene
Full many a time I haue both felt and seene,
In leaking ship, and which hath grieu'd me more,
In a long night a darke Moone, and lee shore:
But such a storme as thou describest heere,
Amazeth mee with wonder and with feare,
And wert thou not both Water-man and Poet
Thou neuer couldest halfe so plainely show it,
I much reioyce thou safe on shore art come,
And bid thee very kindly welcome home.
