Quem timuisti, timet

WITH haire dishevel'd, and in mournefull wise,
Who spurnes a shippe, with Scepter in her hand:
Thus BRITAINE's drawen in old Antiquities,
What time the Romanes, overran her land:
Who first devis'd her, sitting in this plight,
As then their captiue, and abandon'd quite.

But what can long continue at a stay,
To all thinges being, Fates a change decree:
Thrice-famous Ile, whome erst thou didst obey,
Vsurping Roome, standes now in aw of thee:
And trebles more, to heare thy Soveraignes name,
Then thou her Drummes, when valiant Caesar came.
