Epigr. 5. Ad comitem Essexiæ iam nauigaturum.
These ships with childe with such an enterprze,As more then quicke they trauaile with to Spayne;
These Captaynes of couragious companies,
The towers and fortes, Elysa, if thy reigne,
These Armies marching and these ensignes spread,
These Armes aduanst vpon our enemies:
All as the body, waite on thee their head,
Great Lord, dipt in thine heart, fixt in thine eyes,
Go on with liuing courage, tempring sweete,
The inspirde body of her royall fleete,
