Afflicted upon her Son My Lord Berkeley's Early Engaging in the Sea Service	A
	-
So the renowned Ithacensian Queen	B
In Tears for her Telemachus was seen	B
When leaving Home he did attempt the Ire	C
Of rageing Seas to seek his absent Sire	D
Such bitter Sighs her tender Breast did rend	E
But had she known a God did him attend	E
And would with Glory bring him safe again	F
Bright Thoughts would then have dispossess't her Pain	G
	-
Ah Noblest Lady You that her excel	H
In every Vertue may in Prudence well	H
Suspend your Care knowing what power befriends	I
Your Hopes and what on Vertue still attends	I
	-
In bloody Conflicts he will Armour find	E
In strongest Tempests he will rule the Wind	E
He will through Thousand Dangers force a way	J
And still Triumphant will his Charge convey	J
And the All ruling power that can act thus	A
Will safe return your Dear Telemachus	A
	-
Alas he was not born to live in Peace	A
Souls of his Temper were not made for Ease	A
Th' Ignoble only live secure from Harms	A
The Generous tempt and seek out fierce Alarms	A
Huge Labours were for Hercules design'd	E
Jason to fetch the Golden Fleece enjoyn'd	E
The Minotaure by Noble Theseus dy'd	E
In vain were Valour if it were not try'd	E
Should the admir'd and far sought Diamond lye	K
As in its Bed unpolisht to the Eye	K
It would be slighted like a common stone	L
It's Value would be small its Glory none	M
But when't has pass'd the Wheel and Cutters hand	E
Then it is meet in Monarchs Crowns to stand	E
	-
Upon the Noble Object of your Care	N
Heaven has bestow'd of Worth so large a share	N
That unastonisht none can him behold	E
Or credit all the Wonders of him told	E
When others at his Years were turning o're	J
The Acts of Heroes that had liv'd before	O
Their Valour to excite when time should fit	E
He then did Things were Worthy to be writ	E
Stayd not for Time his Courage that out ran	P
In Actions far before in Years a Man	P
Two French Campagnes he boldly courted Fame	Q
While his Face more the Maid than Youth became	Q
Adde then to these a Soul so truly Mild	E
Though more than Man Obedient as a Child	E
And ah should one Small Isle all these confine	R
Vertues created through the World to shine	R
Heaven that forbids and Madam so should you	S
Remember he but bravely does pursue	S
His Noble Fathers steps with your own Hand	E
Then Gird his Armour on like him he'll stand	E
His Countries Champion and Worthy be	T
Of your High Vertue and his Memory	T
