MS. Fairfax 4o. 269 
Tis a delightfull sight to see 
Standinge on the mufruringe shore 
[p. 561] When Calmer Seas begin to bee 
After the Stormes w*) raginge roare 
How the blew Trytons doe appeare 
Vpon the rollinge Curled Waues 
Beatinge wt hiddious tunes ‘the Ayre 
Wt» Crooked Trumpets Sea-men braues 
Att whose shrill notes the winds doe seeme 
By keepinge still to beare esteeme 
Sometimes the Sea wt Tempests rore 
Frettinge itt Can rise noe higher 
Roulinge or’e the flinty shore 
Throwes them vp againe retirés 
[p. 562} Somtimes through itt’s deuouringe Jawes 
When Neptun’s in an angry moode 
Poore mariners finde his Cruel lawes 
Made to his finy Subiects foode 
But Diamonds Amber & the Jett 
To Neptune they doe Consecrate 
Sometimes soe Cleare & soe serene 
Itt seemes ast were a looking glass 
And to our Vewes presenting seemes 
As heauens beneath the waters was 
The Sun in it’s soe clearely seene 
That contemplatinge this bright sight 
[p. 563] As’t was a doubt whether itt had beene 
Himselfe or image gaue the light 
Att first appearing to our eyes 
As if he had falne from the skyes 
Thus Alcidon whose loue inioynes 
To thinke for thee noe labor paine 
Receaue these Rustick Shepheards lines 
That’s from ther liuinge obiects ta’ine 
Sence I seeke only desart places 
Wher all alone my thoughts doe use 
Noe entertainment but what pleases 
The genius of my Rural Muse 
But noe thoughts more delighteth mee 
Then sweet Remembrances of thee
