The Argument of Erasmus his Dialogue called Naiagaion, or Naufragium.
Here
you may reade an accurate Narration
Of dangers incident to Navigation:
With diuers foolish superstitions us'd
By Mariners, (some not to be excus'd)
Here is describ'd a Tempest to the height,
With casting out of Goods, to ease their freight;
And severall humors (to the life exprest)
Of men in danger, and by sea distrest:
Some, to the blessed Virgin call for aid:
By others, Vowes to seuerall Saints are made.
But this our Author will approue of none
To be invok' t, but the Great God alone.
The Interlocutors or Speakers, Antonius and Adolphos.
