To Shaklocks Portugale.

Shaklock , a man of noble welth, supposyng vs but poore,
For countrey loue, dyd to transport of Portugals great store,
Such princely portugals (sayth he,) such perles of pride & price,
That not the best artificer their value can deuyse:
Nowe are not we a welthy folke, and at substanciall stay?
We haue so much of better thyngs, we cast these perles away.
And sely Shaklock, sely mā, may praise his pearles els wheare,
England a pereles Iland now allowthe no popyshe geare.
