Giles Fletcher - To Licias XXX lyrics

Whenas my Licia sailéd in the seas, Viewing with pride god Neptune's stately crown, A calm she made, and brought the merchant ease, The storm she stayed, and checked him with a frown. Love at the stern sate smiling and did sing To see how seas had learned for to obey; And balls of fire into the waves did fling; And still the boy full wanton thus did say "Both poles we burnt whereon the world doth turn, The round of heaven from earth unto the skies; And now the seas we both intend to burn, I with my bow, and Licia with her eyes." Then since thy force, heavens, earth, nor seas can move, I conquered yield, and do confess I love.
