Gorgon or the Wonderful Year

|S+t+| Fame dispos'd to cunnycatch the world,
    Vproar'd a wonderment of Eighty Eight:
    The Earth addreading to be ouerwhurld,
    What now auailes, quoth She, my ballance weight ?
    The Circle smyl'd to see the Center feare :
    The wonder was, no wonder fell that yeare.

    Wonders enhaunse their powre in numbers odd:
    The fatall yeare of yeares is Ninety Three :
    Parma hath kist; De-maine entreates the rodd:
  Warre wondreth, Peace and Spaine in Fraunce to see.
  Braue Eckenberg, the dowty Bassa shames :
  The Christian Neptune, Turkish Vulcane tames.

  Nauarre wooes Roome: Charlmaine giues Guise the Phy:
  Weepe Powles, thy Tamberlaine voutsafes to dye.

L'enuoy.
  The hugest miracle remaines behinde ,
  The second Shakerley Rash-Swash to binde.
