Manie of these to England’s shores he sent, All diuerslie attir’d in strange array, Closely thereby to worke his foule intent, And by their presence to prepare a way Against the enterprize of that great day; In which Spaine’s potent fleete the world’s great wonder, With hidious horror should gainst vs enthunder. 70. Most of the which (O that time’s swan-white wings Could sweepe away record of such foule shame) Where home-borne impes, vntimely shot vp, springs Of Britaine brood, Britaine’s alone by name, By nature monsters borne of foule defame, That sought the ruine, shame, decay and death Of their deare dam, from whom they took their breath. 71. Vnkindly impes, euen from your birth accurst, Detested stock of viper’s bloodie brood, That sought to satisfie your burning thirst By drinking vp your dying mother’s blood, Making her death your life, her hurt your good; Your deeds are sunke to Plutoe’s darksome den, Shame is your portion mongst the sonnes of men. 72. Mee seemes, I see them walk about the brim Of black Styx dangerous flood, where Dis doth wonne, Prince of dead night and darknesse gloomie grim, Howling for passage, where deep Styx doth run, Although in vaine, their funerall rites not done: For hatefull fowles of heau’n being their best graue, No passage to Elyzium can they haue. 73. Alas, how error, enuie and despaire Did troope them vp to leade them on the way, Error orecast their skie, darkened their ayre, Obscur’d their sight, then enuie did assay To make them seeke truth’s ruine and decay; Which hauing faild, despaire to them did bring Confusion, shame, and conscience griping sting. 74. In fatall barkes fast flying ore the maine, They daylie came with doctrine seeming sound, In which as meritorious they maintaine The bloodie hand that should his prince confound, If good thereby to holy church redoun’d, Aboue all whom the self-conceited _Campian_ Past all compare, was reckn’d Rome’s arch champian. 75. This English Romane wretch with manie more Did spred themselues disguis’d about the land, Seducing daylie both the rich and poore Against their prince to lift rebellious hand, Renouncing as vniust her dread command, And ’gainst the time appointed to prouide With forren force to set vp Romane pride. 76.
