MY Little Pinnace, strike thy Sayles,
Let slippe thy Anchor? The VVin••e fayles:
And Sea-men oft, in Calmes doe feare
That foule, and boy ••••rous ••••ather's neare;
If a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Storme should rise
And bl••••••er from Censorious Eyes,
Although the swelling VVa••es be rough,
And proud, thy 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sa••e enough:
Rest, Rest a while, ••ill ••bbing Tides
Shall make thee stanch, and breme thy sides;
When VVinds shall serve, hoyst up thy Sayle,
And flye before a prosp'rous Gale▪
That all the Coasters may resort,
And bid thee welcome to thy PORT.
