Shipwrack. v. Tempest.

The ship as it were tearing out her own bowells, to feed the sea greedinesse, leaving nothing within it, but despaire of safety, an•• expectation of a loathsome end.

Some sate upon the poupe, weeping and wailing till the sea swal¦lowed them, some more able to abide death, than fear of death, c•••• their own throats, to prevent drowning, some prayed, & there wan¦ted not them which cursed, as if the heavens could not be more an¦gry, than they were.

A monstrous cry begotten of many voices was able to affect with a fear, a mind that had not prevented it by reason.

The precious wares give more, And makes addition unto Neptunes store, Spice all the waters, and enrobe The roaring billowes with the rustling silke. The Tyrian goods Enrich the wealth-devouring floods. v. Sea fight.
