HOMAGE TO QUINTUS SEPTIMIUS FLORENTIS CHRISTIANUS (2) by ANYTE

First Line: THIS PLACE IS THE CYPRIAN'S FOR SHE HAS EVER THE FANCY
Last Line: KEEP SMALL WITH REVERENCE, BEHOLDING HER IMAGE.

This place is the Cyprian's for she has ever the fancy
To be looking out across the bright sea,
Therefore the sailors are cheered, and the waves
Keep small with reverence, beholding her image.
