[Not Marke, but Mercurie keepes her warme]

Not Marke, but Mercurie keepes her warme,
And Neptune hugs her in his arme
Infertill, fertile of all good things,
Her Lord her seruant her children kings.

Mercurie is fained to be god of merchandizing, which is the trade that beautifieth the glorious citie of Venice. Neptune inuironeth her, and her Duke is seruile or of very small authoritie. For the maiestie and supreme commandement, is in the senate and magnificoes.
