What meane our Merchants so with eger minds
To plough the seas to finde rich iuels forth?
Sith in
Emaricdulf
a thousand kinds
Are heap'd, exceeding wealthie Indias worth:
Then India doth her haire affoord more gold,
And thousands siluer mines her forhead showes,
More Diamonds then th' Egyptian surges folde,
Within her eyes rich treasurie nature stowes:
Her hony breath, but more then hony sweete,
Exceeds the odours of Arabia:
Those pretious rankes continually that meete,
Are pearles more worth then all America.
Her other parts (proud
Cupids
countermate)
Exceed the world for worth, the heauens for state.
