The Golden Fleece | ||
In Honour of the Golden Fleece described by Orpheus Iunior.
O how my heart doth leape with Ioy to heare,Our New-found Ile by Britaines prized deare!
That hopefull Land, which Winters sixe I tri'd,
And for our Profit meet, at full descri'd.
If Hope of Fame, of quiet Life, or Gaine
May kindle Flames within our minds againe:
Then let vs ioyne to seeke this Golden Fleece,
The like ne're came from Colchos into Greece.
Orpheus remoues all Errours from the way,
And how this Land shall thriue, he doth bewray.
Thus ships & coine increase, whē least we thought,
For Fish and Traines Exchange, and all vnbought,
Iohn Mason.
