The following piece was wrote by Sir Hammond l'Estrange,
while he was under confinement for his unshaken loyalty to
K. Charles I. in Cromwell's time, and sent out into the city
of London: Every line of which discovers so much of true
magnanimity. . . [signed] J. N.
I.
Bear on proud billows! Boreas blow;
Swell curled waves high as Jove's roof !
Yours incivilities shall know
That innocence is tempest proof.
Tho' surly Nereus frown, my thoughts are calm,
Then strike, afflictions, for your wounds are balm.
