Now Creta comes, the Mediterren Queene,

To my sought view, where golden Ida’s seene:

Cut with the Labrinth of th’ old Minatoure,

Thence tracd I all, the Syclads fifty foure:

With Nigropont and Thessaly amaine,

Macedon, Pernassus, the Achaian plaine;

Tenedos and Troy, long Phrigia sixt,

Sestos, Abidos, Adrianopole vext;

Colchis, falne Thebes, Hellespont, and more,

Constantinople, earths best soveraigne glore:

The Euxine sea, and Pompeys pillar prest,

In Peru then, Ile take my Winters rest.
