Eleuenth Entry

[Ocean:]
(Heer he discouers ye Sea-Man entring
Th'Aduentrers Sure are not now far behind
Sea Man enters
Heer comes Tar-palin to bespeak a wind
To waft Them; I'le draw in my former Rage
Ang giue Him leau to Act on a Calme Stage

Sea-Man:
Speaks
The Ayre Speaks fayre, ye Dappled Skie's Becheckerd
wt h Little Lokes of wool portending Calmnes
And All ye winds fast lockt vp in Their Denns
Issue not forth t'awake Oceans fury
Nor t'wrinkle more his Browe: Ile Set my Compass
And Soe prepare for Steerage of These Gallants
Vnto ye Inquisition of a New-world
The Owld They Loath: (Soe nothing Man can find
Saue Nouelty to Satiate his mind
And guiue it rest:) Some of These craue ye North-Winds
Fauour only, Others North North-East
Noor & by West Ther are must haue & Some
North East & by North All ye South to gain
And t'win access to th'vnknown Souereign
I'le rayse Those Starrs too by This Quadrants ayd
Shall be their Guides vntil Dorado appeer
And They pursue Her & forsake ye Bear
