Viro verè politico, civiq́ue patriae benevo∣lentissimo, Richardo Beacono Salutem.

QƲalis in Euboico Salamis fruit Insula ponto, Quâ freta vicinas interlabuntur Athenas: Talis ad occiduum, pelagi propè marmora, Solem, Agnovit (Regina) tuos Hybernia fasces. Cincta mari Salamis, cincta est Hybernia vtris{que}, Ardua per medios consurgunt maenia fluctus. Quàm bene munitum, fati haud ignara futuri Composuit natura locum, tàm docta tueri Si foret, & dubijs si consulat Anglia rebus; Non te Hispane ferox, populi praedator Eöi, Dira per insolitos minitantem praelia motus, Non lectos iuvenes, non robora gentis Iberae, Non volucrem in tumido salientem gurgite pinum, Fluctus cum gemitu, ventos{que} labore prementem, Hâc primùm attonitus spectaverat Anglus in era. Nunc vbi quis{que} sibi sapere, & succurrere malit, Quàm patriae, videat{que} aequis securus ocelli Labentem, & valido tibicine sustentandam, Prona ruit tacito sensim respublica casis. At tibi pro meritis tantis, pro tam benè factis, Pro{que} hoc in patriam officio, pietate, fide{que} Contingat (Beacone) decus post fata perenne.

Iohannes Budden Magist. Artium.
