are. Eous illinc belligera latet Sub Classe pontus: Jam _Thetis_ aenea Mugire flammarum procella, & Attonitae trepidare cautes, Et ipsa circum littora percuti Majore fluctu. Sistite barbari, Ferroq; neu simplex, & igni & Naufragio geminate fatum. There th'Easterne Sea lyes coverd o're With vvarlike Fleets: _Thetis_ begins to rore With stormes of flaming Brasse, and here Th'astonish'd Rocks all trembling stand with feare. The troubled Sea vvith vvinds beset With stronger vvaves 'gainst the full shore doth beat. Forbeare, cruell men to multiply With fire, Sword-vvrack your single destiny. Parumne Tellus in miseras patet Immensa mortes? hinc miserabili Quassata terrarum tumultu Stare pavent titubantq; regna, Unaq; tandem funditus obruunt Cives ruina. Stat tacitus cinis, Cui serus inscribat viator: _Cum populo jacet hic & ipso Cum Rege Regn[um]._ Quid memorem super- Infusa totis aequora portubus Urbes inundare, & repenti Tecta Deum sonuisse fluctu. Regumq; Turres, & pelago Casas Jamjam latentes? jam video procul Merceisq; differri, & natantem Oceano fluitare gazam. Is the large Earth too narrovv grovvne, Such slaughters, such dire tragedies to ovvne? Large Kingdomes there, brought under thrall With Tumult, stagger, and for feare doe fall; Where in one Ruine wee may see The dying people all o'rewhelmed lye. The silent dust remaines, to let The weary Pilgrim this Inscription set (In after times, at hee goes by) _King, Kingdome, People here entombed lye_. What should I name the raging Seas, Whole Havens over-flowing, and with these I'th' sudden floud whole Cities drown'd The shaken Temples of the Gods that found? Kings Pallaces what should I name Now sunke i'th' deepe, small Cottages i'th' same? Vast wealth I see swept downe with th' tyde Rich treasure in the Ocean floting glyde. Alterna rerum militat efficax In damna mundus. Cladibus instruit Bellisq; rixisq; & ruinis Sanguineam libitina scenam, Suprema doxec stelligerum dies Claudat Theatrum. Quid morer hactenus Viator aurarum & serenas Sole domos aditurus usque Humana mirer? tollite praepetem Festina vatem, tollite nubila Qua solis & Lunae Labores Caerule
