Cornelius Tacitus, The Life of Cnæus Julius Agricola (ed. Alfred John Church, William Jackson Brodribb), chapter 24 (search)
In the fifth year of the war Agricola,
himself in the leading ship, crossed the Clota, and
subdued in a series of victories tribes hitherto unknown. In that part of
Britain which looks towards Ireland, he posted some
troops, hoping for fresh conquests rather than fearing attack, inasmuch as
Ireland, being between Britain and Spain and conveniently situated for the seas round Gaul, might have been the means of connecting with great

I CAST to speake of Ireland

Commodities of it I will e defend,
That no enemie should hurt ne offend,
Ireland

Should helpe well nemies to abide.
Why speake I thus so much of Ireland
?
For all so much as I can understand,
It is f I shall say with avisement:
I am aferde that Ireland
will be shent:
It must awey, it wol bee lost al onely for that soile and site,
Of fertile Ireland
, wich might not be forborne,
But if England t our ground is there a litle corner,
To all Ireland

It needeth no more this in all Christendome,
Is no ground ne land to Ireland

So large, so good, so plenteous, so r ll willed of puissance
This said ground of Ireland
