Epig. 14. To my noble Friend Van Velsen, the merited praise of the famous Citty of Amsterdam .

Belgias bright glory we may call
This Towne, who from the Rivers fall
Call'd DAM, hath name; the People ne're
For ought save clothes, and meat did care,
Hence Amsterdam, and with the name
Its Fortune hath increas'd, and Fame:
Known to farr Coasts, and Continents,
And may well, for the good it vents,
Tis Rich in corne, in Flesh, and Fish,
And all that Heart can think or wish,

And to speake truth it seemes to hold
Tage, Hermus, and Pactolus gold.
