81 What profited th' Herculean Calpe now. That Titan in the occidental line, Trav'lling unto th' Antipodes below. Deign' d to salute him with his radiant shine. As to the other world he doth decline ?
One means to dispossess him of his might. Who dispossessed Titan of his light.
82 Tagus, thy gold could not redeem thy fear. Nor all thy sands thy grief could countervail : Drake comes, and leads with him the gods to war. With victory displayed on his sail 5 What can thy gold and water now avail? ...Thy precious water shall his thirst allay. Thy gold shall serve to give his soldiers pay.
30 ^f}t %iU anU H^atf; of 83 Spain annually prepar'd a royal fleet. To sweep the seas unto the Indian coast. That coming home they might our Dragon meet. And pay him tribute at their proper cost 5 England, thou hadst the gain, and Spain the lost: Had he surviv'd, Tempe had been our land. And Thames had stream'd with Tagus' golden sand.
84 Such as the Hyperborean Dragon was.
That bare th' enchanting daughter of the sun On scaled crest of triple-plated brass.
