Sonet 1.
Not longe agoe in Poland traveiling
Changing my tongue my nation and my weede
Mayne wordes I heard from forreyne mouth proceed
Theyre wonder and thy glorie witnessing.
How from thy wisdome did those conquests spring
Which ruin'd them thy ruine which decreed
But such as envyed thee in this agreed
Thy Ilands seate did thee most succoure bring
So if the sea by miracle were drye
Easie thy foes thy kingdome might invade
Fooles which knowe not the power of thyne eye
Thine eye hath made a thousand eyes to weepe
And euery eye [a] thousand seas hath made
And each sea shall thyne Ile in saftie keepe.
