“God bringeth you, pardie! for He intendeth some special service which your works await:
For this alone He guideth and defendeth from en’emies, Ocean and the winds’ wild hate.
Know, that ye look on Inde wherein extendeth a world of nations, rich and fortunate in lucent gold, and gems of princely price, and odorif’erous fumes and biting spice.
