The fertile Nile, which creatures new doth frame, Long Rhodams, whose sourse springs from the skie, Faire Ister, flowing from the mountaines hie. Diuine Scamander, purpled yet with bloud Of Greeks and Troians, which therein did lie, Pactolus glistering with his golden floud, And Tigris fierce, whose streams of none may be with∣stood. Ed. Spencer.
Great Gauges, and immortal Euphrates, Deepe Indus, and Meander intricate:
Slowe Peneus, and tempestuous Phasides, Swift Rhene, and Alpheus stil immaculate, Oraxes feared for great Cyrus fate, Tibris renowmed for the Romane fame. Idem.
