Of my Lord of Galloway his learned Commentary on the Reuelation.
TO this admir'd Discouerer giue place,Yee who first tam'd the Sea, the Windes outranne,And match'd the Dayes bright Coach-man in your race,Americus, Columbus, Magellan.
It is most true, that your ingenious careAnd well-spent paines, another world brought forth;For Beasts, Birds, Trees, for Gemmes and Metals rare,Yet all being earth, was but of earthly worth.
Hee a more precious World to vs descryes,Rich in more Treasure then both Indes containe:Faire in more beauty then mans witte can faine,VVhose Sunne not sets, whose people neuer dies.Earth shuld your Brows deck with stil-verdant Bayes,But Heauens crowne his with Stars immortall rayes.
Master William Drumond of Sawthorn-denne.
