Certaine Verses in commendations of this mirrour of footmanship, this Ca∣tholique or vniuersall Traueller, this European, Asian, African Pilgrime, this well letterd, well litterd discoue∣rer and Cosmographicall describer Master Thomas Coriat of Odcombe.
O Thou whose sharp toes cuts the Globe in quarters,
Mongst Iewes & Greeks & tyrannizing Tartars:
Whose glory through the vastie Welkin rumbles,
And whose great Acts more then nine Muses mumbles,
Whose ratling Fame Apollo's daughters thunders,
Midst Africke monsters, and 'mongst Asian wonders.
Accept these footed verses I implore thee,
That heere (Great Footman) goe on foote before thee:
To sing thy praise I would my Muse inforce,
But that (alas) she is both harsh and hoarse:
And therefore pardon this my Loues Epistle,
For though she cannot sing, Ile make her whistle.
