To the Noble paier of kinsmen the two Edward Mountaques the One Admirall redy to put to sea, the
Other lately returnd from Travaile and taken with the Bewty of the Excellent Lady Diana Rich as was
conjectured.

Whilst Thou dost fright the Sea God with thy Armes
And with Thy navy guardst the Land from harmes
The Paphian Queen a suddain Flame doth rayse
And strikes thy new come kinsman with its blaze
Thou followst Mars, He's now turnd Venus guest
(That other warfare doth become Him best)
Whilst thou dost seek our fierce Foes to restraine
And Thundrest with thy Ordinance o're the Mayne
He is Loves Captive, caught in Cynthias nett
And to Diana Owes a Servants debt:
Thus both your Fates in doubtfull Starr doe meet
He must be raysd by Her, thou by the Fleet,
Thou Sea-borne-Venus now in woods ador'd
Let both be to their wished aymes restor'd
May One have bewty, Victory the Other
Compleating Fortune, Mars and Art together.
Art stears the Ship, and Art too guideth Love,
And without this Mars cannot valiant prove:
Both from one stock are sprung, let Heavns then be
Propitious to them both in each degree:
Let mony boast her wealth, beyond all measure
Diana's bewty is the richer Treasure
Riches by Sea may faile, He that gets Her
Shall ne'er be poor; whilst Luck and Name concurr.
