Ana. And return'd.
Lam. I saw him land

At St. Lucar's; and such a general welcome
Fame, as harbinger to his brave actions,
Had with the easy people prepar'd for him,
As if by his command alone, and fortune,
Holland, with those Low Provinces that hold

Against the arch-duke, were again compell'd With their obedience to give up their lives To be at his devotion.

Vit. You amaze me !

With such a slow, and yet majestic' pace,
As if he still call'd loud, "Dare none come
