Hand procul Hennzeis lacus ell: a moenibus altm,
Nominc Pcrgus aquze. Non illo plura Cayllrus
Carmina cycnorum labentibus audit in undis,
-Sylva coronat aquas, cingens latus omne, fuifque:
F rondibus ut velo, Phcbacos fubmovet ignes.
Frigora dant rami ; Tyrios humus humida florcs.
PERPETUUM van 1257. Ovid Met. Lib. 5.,
Near Hena's well-built walls, :1 fpacious Lake,
Now Pergus nam'd, collcelcd waters make:
Swans ling not more, on fweet Cayfier’s flreams;
The Sun fcarce finds it with his fcorching beams,
Check‘d by afpiring Groves ; and all around
The flow’ry banks with lofty woods are crown'd:
The waving boughs a grateful coolnefs bring, g
AND nuonmc FLOWERS MAKE one PERPETUAL spiurtc‘. Orin byScweI.
Sure it is yet a molt beautiful and fwcet Country (IRELAND) as any is under heaven; being
ftored throughout with many goodly rivers, replenifhed with all forts of filh molt abundantly, fprink- ,
led with many very fweet Iilands and goodly Lakes, like little inland Seas, that will carry even Ships
upon their waters : Adorned with goodly woods, even fit for building houfes and lliips, fo commodioully,
as that if fome Princes in the world had them, they would foon hope to be Lords of all the Seas, and
e'er long of all the world: Alfo full of very good ports and havens. opening upon England, as in-
viting us to come unto them, to fee what excellent Commodities that Country can afford: 'Belides
the foil itfelf molt fertile, fit to yield all kinds of fruit that lhall be committed thereunto. And lallly,
the Heavens molt mild and temperate, though fomewhat more moill, than the parts towardsthc Welt.
