Newes
from
PERSIA
and
POLAND
,
touching
Sir
Robert
Sherley
,
being
sent
Ambassadour
to
diuers
Princes
of
EVROPE
,
fam'd
aswell
for
his
Wisedome
and
experience
,
as
for
his
knowledge
and
vnderstanging
of
many
Tongues
.
ALbeit
that
man
can
receiue
his
Birth
but
from
one
place
,
yet
is
hee
Borne
a
Fréeman
of
all
the
Cities
of
the
world
The
whole
earth
is
his
Country
,
and
he
that
dwelleth
fardest
off
.
is
by
the
lawes
of
nature
,
as
neer
to
him
in
loue
as
his
kindred
&
acquaintance
.
This
General
Charter
being
giuen
by
the
King
of
this
Uniuersall
Crowne
,
to
all
Nations
,
hath
caused
men
from
time
to
time
,
(
by
the
vertue
of
that
Priuiledge
)
to
forsake
the
places
of
their
first
being
,
and
to
trauell
into
other
Countries
.
The
benefits
that
kingdomes
haue
gotten
by
this
meanes
,
cannot
in
so
small
a
volume
,
(
as
this
in
hand
)
bée
comprehended
.
Trauell
is
the
golden
Mine
that
inricheth
the
poorest
Country
,
and
filleth
the
barrennest
with
abundant
plenty
.
It
is
the
chaine
that
at
first
tyed
Kingdomes
together
,
and
the
Musicall
string
that
still
maintaines
them
in
Concord
,
in
Leagues
and
in
Unity
.
The
Portugalls
haue
hereby
Crowned
themselues
and
there
Posterity
with
garlands
of
neuer
dying
honour
.
The
Spaniards
haue
their
names
(
for
this
)
so
deepely
ingrauen
in
the
Chronicles
of
Fame
,
that
they
can
neuer
bee
forgotten
.
The
French
likewise
and
the
Dutch
,
haue
raised
their
glories
to
a
nobler
height
,
onely
by
these
Aduentures
.
In
imitation
of
all
whose
labors
,
or
rather
in
Emulation
of
all
their
Fames
,
our
Englishmen
haue
not
onely
Stept
as
farre
as
any
of
them
Al
,
but
gone
beyond
the
most
,
and
the
best
of
them
.
And
not
to
reckon
those
men
of
worth
(
in
this
kinde
)
of
our
owne
Nation
,
whose
voyages
and
trauells
(
by
sea
and
land
)
to
set
down
,
were
able
to
fil
whole
volumes
,
I
will
onely
at
this
time
(
not
with
a
loud
and
shrill
trumpet
,
as
they
deserue
,
but
as
it
were
vppon
an
instrument
tuned
and
directed
by
another
)
giue
onely
a
soft
touch
at
the
Praises
of
this
worthy
Gentleman
(
Sir
ROBERT
SHERLEY
)
of
whose
aduentures
,
dangers
,
&
various
fortunes
,
both
good
and
bad
,
to
draw
a
true
picture
in
the
right
&
liuely
colors
;
would
as
easily
feed
mens
eies
with
gazing
admiration
,
as
the
large
pictured
tables
of
others
haue
filled
them
with
wonder
.
Being
therefore
contented
(
at
this
time
)
to
swim
but
in
a
shallow
streame
,
of
his
Fame
,
sithence
greater
sayles
are
likely
héereafter
(
and
that
very
shortly
)
to
swell
with
the
true
report
of
his
actions
,
You
shall
vnderstand
that
Sir
ROBERT
SHERLEY
,
after
a
long
,
a
chargeable
,
and
a
dangerous
progresse
through
most
(
if
not
all
)
the
Kingdomes
in
Europe
,
receiuing
entertainment
from
the
Princes
of
those
Dominions
,
sitting
to
such
a
ghuest
,
desire
of
glorie
still
more
and
more
burning
within
him
.
At
the
length
,
he
left
Europe
,
and
trauelled
into
Asia
,
receiuing
noble
entertainment
at
the
hands
of
the
King
of
Persia
,
In
whose
Court
he
so
well
and
so
wisely
bore
himselfe
in
all
his
Actions
,
that
the
Persian
(
with
much
of
his
loue
,
of
which
hee
tasted
most
plenteously
)
heaped
on
his
head
many
honorable
fauours
.
That
common
enemy
of
Christ
and
Christians
,
(
the
Turke
)
lifting
vp
his
sword
continually
(
for
the
most
part
)
not
onely
against
the
Polack
,
the
Hungarian
,
Bohemian
,
and
other
Princes
of
Christendome
,
but
also
thirsting
after
the
rich
Empire
of
Persia
,
and
shewing
a
mortall
hatred
to
that
Kingdome
by
being
euer
vp
in
Armes
against
it
;
It
was
thought
fit
that
(
the
Persian
himselfe
confessing
and
worshipping
Christ
,
)
Ayde
should
bee
required
at
the
hands
of
Christian
Princes
in
the
Persians
behalfe
,
against
so
barbarous
,
so
ambitious
and
so
generall
an
enemy
.
Heerupon
the
honor
of
such
an
Embassy
,
was
conferred
(
by
the
King
of
Persia
)
vpon
Sir
Robert
Sherley
,
as
a
man
worthy
and
apt
to
treate
with
Christian
princes
in
so
weighty
a
businesse
,
hee
himselfe
being
a
Christian
born
,
and
a
gentleman
that
had
Trauelled
,
and
by
experience
knew
the
conditions
,
State
,
and
pollicies
of
most
of
their
Kingdomes
.
First
therefore
was
he
imployed
into
Poland
,
where
by
Sigismund
(
the
King
of
Poland
and
of
Suecia
)
hee
was
receiued
with
great
magnificence
,
and
applause
both
of
the
Polack
himselfe
and
of
his
people
.
And
because
it
is
not
fit
,
that
euery
Common
and
popular
eare
,
should
stand
listning
to
the
priuate
businesse
of
Princes
in
a
Deseignement
,
that
concernes
the
Uniuersall
state
of
Christendome
,
wee
will
not
therefore
at
this
time
bée
interpreters
of
the
Persians
Embassy
but
rather
waite
his
expected
comming
who
hath
in
charge
to
deliuer
it
by
word
of
mouth
himselfe
.
In
the
meane
time
not
withstanding
(
forbearing
to
reckon
vp
the
rich
presents
giuen
by
the
Poland
King
,
to
Sir
Robert
,
the
honors
done
to
him
,
by
the
Polish
Lords
,
and
the
fauors
throwne
vpon
him
by
the
Common
people
)
You
shall
bée
witnesses
onely
,
to
those
,
(
not
vnworthy
)
prayses
of
Him
,
by
which
his
Fame
(
amongst
Schollers
by
those
of
the
better
sort
)
was
lifted
vp
,
at
the
time
of
his
staying
in
Poland

A
gratulatorie
compendious
Speech
,
to
Sir
ROBERT
SHERLEY
,
commending
both
his
Vertue
,
and
present
Fortune
.
O
Sherley
,
thou
that
art
an
honour
to
the
Persians
,
aswell
as
to
the
Britaines
:
within
whose
head
dwelleth
experience
and
wisdome
,
and
vpon
whose
tongue
eloquence
writeth
her
charmes
:
whatsoeuer
hee
was
,
that
at
first
durst
say
that
Fortune
was
Blind
and
that
shee
bestowed
extraordinary
benefits
vpon
vndeseruing
men
,
let
him
know
,
that
all
this
while
hee
hath
bin
in
an
error
:
for
Fortune
had
more
eyes
then
Argus
,
when
shee
Crowned
this
Englishman
with
so
many
Persian
honors
and
offices
,
That
Monarch
(
O
thou
Renowned
Britaine
)
whose
sword
is
dreadfull
to
the
Thracian
Tyrant
,
makes
thee
a
partner
in
the
cares
and
burdens
of
his
empyre
:
for
he
hath
seene
,
yea
he
hath
euer
seene
,
and
found
thee
constant
in
execution
of
all
his
iust
and
Royall
commandes
.
The
Empire
of
the
Persian
is
here
commended
:
The
Kings
and
Princes
of
Europe
being
called
to
giue
witnesse
,
how
much
glory
the
dexteritie
of
Sir
ROBERT
SHERLEY
,
hath
added
to
the
Persian
Monarchie
:
Vpon
which
,
he
appeares
to
the
Persians
a
Gentleman
of
such
merit
,
as
that
England
may
very
iustly
accuse
Persia
of
wrong
,
for
detaining
him
from
her
.
THe
same
of
the
Persian
Empire
doth
not
grow
vp
only
in
a
meane
Souldier
,
for
their
Cities
are
full
of
renowmed
and
worthy
Captains
:
from
the
Ancient
discipline
and
Stratagems
of
warre
,
are
the
glories
of
the
Persians
sprung
vp
and
continue
famous
,
But
(
O
thou
honoured
Englishman
)
shee
deriued
her
first
principles
from
thy
practise
and
knowledge
.
Farre
be
my
words
from
the
base
seruitude
of
flattery
:
for
within
a
short
time
,
Kings
shall
rise
vp
as
witnesses
of
what
I
speake
.
Let
thine
owne
Country
enuy
the
kingdome
of
Persia
for
enioying
this
honor
,
(
which
by
thee
is
giuen
her
)
yea
,
let
her
challenge
thée
to
be
deliuered
backe
againe
as
her
owne
,
yet
let
her
clayme
be
made
in
such
maner
,
that
England
and
Persia
,
may
not
grow
into
quarrell
about
thée
,
But
rather
thus
let
them
both
share
thée
.
Let
rich
Persia
enioy
thy
presence
,
and
reckon
thée
in
the
number
of
her
Citizens
,
&
bee
proud
in
the
possession
of
a
man
,
so
worthy
:
Let
England
glorie
that
shee
alone
,
is
happy
in
thy
Birth
,
and
that
she
beares
the
honor
of
giuing
thée
thy
name
.
But
howsoeuer
,
(
O
thou
,
the
Dignitie
and
Luster
of
two
renowned
Kingdomes
)
Goe
thou
on
,
in
thine
intended
ambassage
,
and
performe
these
Heasts
,
which
the
great
Persian
thy
Lord
hath
imposed
vpon
thy
Integrity
.
A
short
Speech
vttered
as
it
were
by
the
whole
body
of
the
Polish
Court
,
to
ROBERT
SHERLEY
Ambassadour
from
the
inuincible
King
of
the
Persians
.
IT
is
not
thy
rich
garments
Embroydered
so
thicke
with
gold
,
and
wouen
by
Grecian
workemen
,
that
drawes
our
eyes
into
admiration
by
beholding
thee
:
It
is
not
thy
sparkling
Jewels
,
nor
those
costly
pretious
stones
that
adorne
thy
Kobe
,
which
dazle
our
sight
.
It
is
not
thy
comely
ryding
,
nor
skilfull
managing
of
that
Thracian
courser
,
vpon
whose
back
thou
sictest
,
whilst
the
proud
beast
it selfe
,
Champs
on
the
glistering
bit
in
disdaine
to
bee
so
curbed
,
that
makes
vs
to
looke
after
thee
,
It
is
not
that
victorious
Semyter
of
thine
,
wherewith
thou
hast
made
the
earth
drunke
so
often
with
so
much
bloud
of
those
,
that
are
enemies
to
the
Persians
,
that
causeth
vs
to
stand
gazing
at
thy
presence
:
No
it
is
the
beauty
of
thy
minde
wherewith
our
eyes
are
inchanted
.
It
is
the
excellent

Englands
Complaint
to
Persia
for
her
SHERLEY
.
O
Persia
!
thou
glorious
kingdome
,
thou
chiefe
of
Empires
;
the
Palace
sometimes
where
Wisedome
onely
kept
her
Court
,
the
Land
that
was
gouerned
by
none
but
by
wisemen
:
Yet
must
I
tell
thee
,
and
with
griefe
dost
thou
inforce
me
to
tell
thee
,
that
against
all
Law
of
Nations
,
thou
robbest
me
of
my
subiect
.
Why
should
the
right
of
another
bée
thine
?
It
is
Justice
for
euery
one
to
kéepe
their
owne
.
But
thou
makest
vp
thy
gaine
by
my
losse
.
Is
this
Equitie
?
Is
this
tollerable
?
Cease
to
doe
it
:
and
send
home
(
O
Persia
)
That
sonne
of
mine
to
me
that
am
his
mother
:
for
to
me
onely
is
he
due
.
But
(
aye
me
)
the
honors
of
his
owne
Country
,
and
the
palaces
of
my
Kingdome
,
are
by
him
(
belike
)
neglected
and
seeme
not
worth
the
looking
on
;
And
though
to
the
eye
of
the
world
I
may
perhaps
appeare
beautifull
and
great
,
yet
in
his
eye
,
I
shew
no
bigger
then
a
small
corner
of
the
worlde
.
I
doe
enuy
thée
therefore
(
O
Persia
)
onely
for
him
:
yet
sithence
I
cannot
enioy
him
,
Fare
thou
well
,
O
thou
my
darling
,
and
with
that
farewell
beare
along
with
thée
,
the
Praises
which
I
giue
thee
.
I
rob
Persia
,
Persia
robs
not
me
:
My
losse
is
to
mée
more
honour
:
for
the
Persian
Empire
,
borrowes
her
brightnes
from
the
beames
of
one
of
the
Sonnes
of
England

SHERLEY
to
his
natiue
Countrey
.
O
Thou
my
Country
,
if
I
should
pay
back
into
thy
hands
so
much
as
by
bond
is
due
vnto
thee
from
me
,
I
should
then
lay
downe
my
life
at
thy
feete
.
But
my
thoughts
ayme
at
greater
matters
,
It
is
not
Breath
I
would
pay
thée
,
but
Fame
:
Take
thou
from
me
so
much
Honor
,
as
may
make
mée
liue
for
euer
.
Liberty
is
the
Gole
to
which
I
run
,
but
such
a
liberty
it
is
,
as
may
frée
me
from
the
common
basenesse
of
the
multitude
,
and
make
me
worthy
to
be
respected
by
the
eye
of
a
King
.
Seruus
hero
,
I
am
a
seruant
to
that
greate
Maister
,
to
whose
feete
all
the
Persians
bow
and
doe
reuerence
:
I
am
his
seruant
,
that
I
may
bee
his
messenger
,
and
beare
the
Treatyes
of
such
a
King
,
to
other
Kings
in
Christendome
.
I
am
destin'de
out
,
to
deliuer
his
minde
in
their
owne
languages
,
to
Forrain
Princes
and
to
the
Monarches
of
the
earth
.
Let
them
therefore
come
together
,
and
quicklie
shall
the
Turkish
fury
bee
calmed
,
and
beeing
weakened
in
her
owne
strengths
,
shall
bee
glad
to
knéele
to
the
power
,
and
mercy
of
others
.
And
thou
,
(
O
my
Natiue
Country
)
,
if
thou
wouldest
bee
pleased
to
knit
thy
forces
in
this
iust
and
vniuersall
Warre
,
to
what
Dignities
mayst
thou
aduance
thy selfe
?
Whatsoeuer
is
dishonourable
,
hath
a
base
descention
,
and
sincks
beneath
Hell
,
But
Whatsoeuer
is
good
and
honest
,
lifts
vp
the
vnblemished
brow
on
high
,
and
makes
it
Leuell
with
the
front
of
heauen
.
The
Authors
wish
and
request
to
vertue
,
that
shee
would
giue
vnto
SHERLEY
such
a
fruitfull
haruest
of
his
Labours
,
that
hauing
Conquered
the
hardnesse
of
them
,
his
Name
may
aspire
to
the
full
height
of
his
desert
.
OUertue
!
the
noblest
and
boldest
guide
,
thou
that
giuest
to
men
the
due
Crowne
of
Praises
,
prosper
thou
the
honoured
enterprises
of
Sherley
:
But
touching
those
paths
which
must
leade
him
to
titles
of
fame
and
honour
,
make
them
euen
and
certaine
before
him
;
He
hath
no
desire
to
haue
his
name
eaten
out
by
the
rust
of
idlenesse
,
no
;
hee
will
neuer
vnworthily
sink
beneath
his
owne
proposed
fortune
.
Another
of
the
same
Author
,
touching
Sir
Robert
Sherley
being
called
as
it
were
by
Fate
,
to
manage
the
affaires
of
Foraine
Princes
.
WHat
is
the
cause
that
Sherley
hath
not
all
this
while
liued
in
the
same
Country
,
that
first
lent
him
breath
?
This
is
the
reason
,
a
spirit
so
greate
was
not
to
bee
contained
within
so
small
a
circle
,
as
his
Country
.
Besides
,
He
is
the
child
of
Fate
and
highly
sings
Of
kingly
Embassies
to
none
but
Kings
.
Crownde
with
these
prayses
as
you
heare
in
Poland
,
and
leauing
the
same
of
his
memorable
actions
behind
him
,
bending
his
coarte
to
other
Princes
of
Christendome
with
the
same
Royall
Embassage
of
honorable
,
and
Christian
confederacie
against
Mahomet
&
his
Adherents
,
it
shal
not
bee
amisse
here
to
speake
of
the
Kingdome
of
Persia
,
where
Sir
Robert
receiued
such
honourable
entertainment
,
sutable
to
his
noble
Actions
,
and
the
vertues
of
his
minde
,
as
also
the
maners
,
fashions
,
rites
,
and
customes
,
that
are
and
haue
beene
obserued
by
the
Persians
;
and
first
,
for
their
Religion
which
they
haue
obserued
of
old
,
doing
worship
and
reuerence
in
their
vpright
zeale
to
the
Sunne
,
Moone
,
Uenus
,
Fire
,
Earth
,
Water
,
and
Winds
,
erecting
neyther
Altars
nor
Statues
,
but
in
open
Fields
offring
their
sacrifices
,
which
Sacrifices
were
superstitious
,
and
full
of
idle
Ceremonies
too
tedious
to
be
here
rehersed
:
For
their
Kings
;
the
golden
line
of
them
is
drawn
out
of
one
family
,
that
custome
amongst
the
Persians
neuer
as
yet
suffred
change
or
alteration
,
and
so
seuere
their
lawes
are
in
effect
,
to
the
punishing
of
all
rebellious
treasonable
and
disobedient
people
,
that
whosoeuer
bee
bee
that
is
found
repugnant
in
the
least
demeanor
to
the
will
and
affection
of
the
King
▪
hee
is
presently
ceazde
vpon
by
the
Tormentors
,
his
head
and
armes
chopt
off
,
and
with
his
detested
body
throwne
into
some
common
field
,
without
eyther
graue
or
couering
:
And
for
their
palaces
&
royall
mansions
,
this
hath
euer
beene
the
continued
custome
amongst
them
,
that
euery
King
hath
had
his
seate
Royall
erected
on
some
high
hill
or
mountaine
,
the
Bowels
of
which
hee
makes
his
safe
Treasure
house
,
where
all
his
riches
,
Jewels
,
and
Tribute
moneyes
are
with
excéeding
carefulnesse
kepte
hid
and
secret
;
And
so
much
they
do
detest
Sterility
and
Barennesse
,
that
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
they
take
many
wines
in
mariage
,
counting
the
fruitfull
propagation
of
the
Empire
,
the
onely
happinesse
they
can
rayse
to
it
,
and
so
much
they
thirst
after
humane
fruitfulnesse
,
that
the
Kings
themselues
propound
great
gifts
and
rewards
,
To
those
that
in
one
yeare
brings
forth
the
greatest
haruest
of
mankinde
;
From
fiue
yeare
olde
to
foure
and
twenty
the
male
children
practise
to
ride
greate
horses
,
to
throw
the
Uulnerable
and
Ineuitable
darte
,
to
shoote
in
Arbalists
or
long
steele
bowes
,
and
all
such
manly
exercises
which
shames
many
other
Christian
Countries
,
and
may
iustly
vpbraide
them
of
effeminacie
and
Lazynesse
.
Their
victuals
for
the
most
part
,
by
which
the
common
sort
of
people
are
sed
&
doe
liue
by
,
are
Acorns
,

Hedge-peares
,
their

For

adorne
their
bodies
with
a
Triple
robe
,
and
another
garment
in
the
fashion
of
a

hanging
downe
to
their
knées

the
inward

of
white
silks
&
the
outward

In

about

Attirde
in
some
of
which
ordinary
Persian
habits
his
Agent
Master
Moore
is
lately
arriued
in
England
,
bringing
happy
tidings
of
this
famous
English
Persian
,
as
also
of
his
comming
to
England
to
the
excéeding
great
Joy
of
his
Natiue
Country
,
laden
with
honours
through
euery
kingdome
,
as
the
deseruing
ornaments
of
his
vertue
and
labour
;
And
thus
,
ingenuous
Reader
,
haue
I
set
down
by
true
and
most
credible
Information
a
briefe
Epitome
of
Sir
Robert
Sherlyes
entertainement
into
Cracouia
the
chiefe
Cittye
of
Poland
,
together
with
all
those
seuerall
speeches
deliuered
to
him
by
the
Schollers
of
that
Countrye
,
which
although
they
may
seeme
to
the
nice
eare
of
our
times
,
not
altogether
so
pure
and
polished
as
the
refined
labours
of
many
english
wits
,
yet
therein
they
striued
to
expresse
both
their
fashion
and
affection
to
the
worthy
vertues
of
Sir
Robert
,
&
for
a
tast
of
their
Stile
and
manner
of
writing
,
it
shal
not
be
amisse
,
if
you
cast
your
eye
vpon
these
verses
following
,
composed
by
a
Scholler
worthily
reputed
in
that
Cuntry
,
one
Andraeas
Loeaechius
,
&
those
are
they
which
at
this
I
borrow
to
shut
vp
the
honorable
praises
of
our
Famous
English
Traueller
