WATER-WORKES. 



The manner of my 

 Drownings. 



Fter I had spent some 

 yeares in Queene Eliza- 

 beths Court, and saw the 

 greatnes and glory therof 

 under the command of 

 Mist res Blanch Parry (an 

 honorable & Vertuous 

 Gentlewoman, my Aunt and Mistresse) 

 my spirite beeing too tender to indure the 

 bitternesse of her humor ; I was by her 

 carefull (though crabbed austerity) forced 

 unto the Irish wars, where I continued 

 three or foure yeares some-times twist 

 deep in that country -water : & what 

 with long fasting and ill diet, I was pos- 

 sessed with the Country-disease : the ex- 

 tremity whereof hasted mee to returne to 

 8 1 my 



Flix.
