AMERICA.
This Spain-enriching new-found world, a gemOnce proffer'd to our Henry's Diadem;
With reverence to their puppet-zemes do pray,
Whil'st to them they themselves become a prey.
Those devill-spirits every where appeare,
Not honour'd though ador'd, serv'd but for feare;
And yet this now in-fatuated flock
Shal know the Shepherds voyce and Bridgroom's knock:
Their time of Gospell's next Religion may
Still bending West find out America.
