Close bounded Hellespont, Earths Mother sport

I leave: longst the Æolid lists, I Smirna court:

Thence Samothrace, and Rhodos, I accoast,

Which Lilidamus Viliers, manly lost:

The Lycian bounds, and steepe Pamphilian shoares

I strictly view: The sea Carpathian roares,

I land at Cyprus: Seline is the place,

Whence I that Kingdome, to Nicosia trace:

[V. 171.]From Famagust, faire Asia, then I courted

And Libanon; whence Cedars were transported

For Sions temple: And my toyles to crowne

I sight great Aleppe, Syriaes Lady Towne:

Then passing Mesopotame; Chelfanes land,

I stay at Beershack, on Euphrates strand:

Thence backe by Damas, Arabie Petrea,

Galilee, Samaria, mountainous Judea

I toyling came: And at Jerusalem,

I lodg’d neere Moriah, in a Cloystred frame.
