To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alas ! for Spain's unlucky star, a league off Cadiz town, In sight of help, in sight of home, her proud flag fluttered down!
And so a month behind the rest, belying not her name, With such a prize to Saltash creek the Bonaventitre came.
But Drake rode post to London town to don a courtier's dress And kneel before the Queen and crave her pardon for success.
11 Now, come you as a privateer from troubling all the sea? Or come you as my Admiral?" "So please my liege, " said he, "Your Grace's fleet ...in April gales went forth at high behest, And found a giant's head thrust out that watched your high- way west.
" For Vigo is the eye of Spain and Lisbon rock the nose, And round the chin St. Vincent the trade of Turkey goes ; " My liege's ships rode out the gale, the wind of fortune veered, And in his throat at Cadiz Bay I singed King Philip's beard. " X THE ARMADA THERE shall be so much forgotten of deeds beneath the sun, But not this deed of England's, till England's race be run ; The fathers shall tell their children, and the children's children know How we fought the great sea-battle three hundred years ago.
