This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... to the height of some heroical fable," as Bacon says, which is here glorified in imperishable verse. The free movement of the metre follows every turn of narration and description.

The said Philip carried three tire of ordinance on a side . . . After the Reuenge was intangled with this Philip, foure other boorded her; two on her larboord, and two on her starboord. . . . But the great San Philip hauing receyued the lower tire of the Reuenge, . . . shifted hir selfe with all diligence from her sides, vtterly misliking hir first entertainment." The phrase "the wombe of Phillip" is in Markham, who also speaks of the ship's "mountain hugenes." 89 57. According to Bacon, only fifteen ships were actually engaged with the Revenge. 89 58.
