Michael Drayton - Sonnet I: Like an Advent`rous Seafarer
Work rating: Low

Like an advent`rous seafarer am I, 
Who hath some long and dang`rous voyage been, 
And, call`d to tell of his discovery, 
How far he sail`d, what countries he had seen; 
Proceeding from the port whence he put forth, 
Shows by his compass how his course he steer`d, 
When East, when West, when South, and when by North, 
As how the Pole to every place was rear`d, 
What capes he doubled, of what Continent, 
The gulfs and straits that strangely he had past, 
Where most becalm`d, where with foul weather spent, 
And on what rocks in peril to be cast: 
Thus in my love, Time calls me to relate 
My tedious travels and oft-varying fate.
