The Awakening of Europe, 17. The Great Armada

17. The Great Armada

"When that great fleet Invincible against her bore in vain The richest spoils of Mexico, the stoutest hearts of Spain." —MACAULAY.

The romantic daring of Drake's voyage and the vastness of his spoil roused great enthusiasm in England. But the honours heaped upon him by Elizabeth were looked on by Philip of Spain with fierce anger. She had accepted his stolen treasure, and plans with regard to the conquest of England now began to take shape. The dockyards of Spain became busy centres, and the first ships of that great Armada, or armed force, destined for war with England, began to collect in the Tagus. If England were conquered, the empire of Spain would be safe, so thought Philip, whose possessions even now rivaled the Roman empire of old.

That a great fleet was building in Spain soon became known in England, and Drake hurried off to the scene of action. He sailed to Cadiz, entered the harbour, sank the guardship, sent flying a fleet of ships intended for the invasion of England, set fire to others, and sailed out again, having lost neither man nor boat.

"I have singed the King of Spain's beard this time," said Drake, while all Europe was wondering at his last adventure. Then, not content with having delayed the Armada, he seized the largest Spanish merchant ship afloat, laden with spoil from India, which he towed triumphantly into Dartmouth harbour. Not only was it the richest cargo that had ever entered an English port, but on board were found papers telling of the richness and mysteries of the East Indian trade, hitherto known only to Spain and Portugal.

By the end of April 1588 the Spanish Armada was ready.

July found the fleet—named by the Spaniards the Invincible Armada—at the mouth of the English Channel with a fair wind. It was formidable enough as it sailed on in the form of a crescent extending for seven miles. There were 130 ships, standing high out of the water. On board were guns, many soldiers and sailors, priests, surgeons, and food for six months. The whole was under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia, from whose flagship waved the Imperial banner, bearing on one side the crucified Christ and on the other His mother Mary; for this was not only an attack on England, it was an attack on England's Protestantism too. It was the 19th of July when the Spanish fleet, so long expected, was seen by the English off the coast of Cornwall. At once fires of alarm were lit along the coast.

"Far on the deep the Spaniards saw, along each southern shire, Cape beyond cape, in endless range, those twinkling points of fire." When the news arrived at Plymouth, the English commander, Lord Howard of Effingham, was playing bowls with his captains. None knew better than Drake what the news meant. There was not a moment to lose, for the English ships were all huddled in ports along the coast at the mercy of the Spanish. On the other hand, a panic would spoil all. He refused to stop playing bowls.

"There is time to play the game and beat the Spaniards," he said quietly. But there was no sleep for England that night. While in port and harbour the ships were manned and sailed, bells of alarm rang out all night, horsemen gathered together, cannon's roar and notes of the bugle broke the silence of the night. "Night sank upon the dusky beach and on the purple sea, Such night in England ne'er had been, nor e'er again shall be." There was but one hope for the English in this desperate struggle. Her ships, though fewer, were lighter and faster-sailing than those of the enemy, therefore a close encounter would be fatal. Worrying and harrying the Spanish fleet, the English ships pursued them up the English Channel till Calais was reached. For nearly a week this running fight had lasted. By July 29 the Spaniards had lost 4000 men: three great ships had sunk; their masts were shot away, the men had lost heart. The Spanish commander decided to retreat to Spain by way of Scotland.

Nevertheless, as Drake said, the fleet seemed still "wonderful great and strong." The "work of destruction was reserved for a mightier foe than Drake." Suddenly the wind rose into a storm, which drove pursuers and pursued across to the Netherlands. Narrowly escaping shipwreck on the flat coast of Holland, the shattered Armada was driven pitilessly northwards, hurrying before the wind.

"There was never anything pleased me better," said Drake as he followed after, "than seeing the enemy flying with a southerly wind to the northwards." Supplies fell short and forced the English ships to give up the chase. The Spaniards sailed on to the Orkney Islands at the north of Scotland, where the storms of the northern seas broke on them furiously. Round the coast they staggered, scattering the shores with their wrecks. Eight thousand Spaniards perished near the Giant's Causeway; 1100 bodies were washed up on to the coast of Ireland. Out of the magnificent fleet that had sailed from Spain only fifty ships returned, bearing a few thousand sick and maimed Spaniards.

"I sent you to fight against men and not with the winds," said Philip to his unfortunate commander, who slunk away to his home to be tormented ever after by boys crying under his window, "Drake is coming! Drake is coming!" It was indeed Drake's name with which Europe rang as the news of the victory spread, though Elizabeth acknowledged the power of the storm when she struck a medal with this motto, "God blew with His wind and they were scattered."

Então, não contente por ter atrasado a Armada, ele apreendeu o maior navio mercante espanhol à tona, carregado de destroços da Índia, que ele rebocou triunfalmente no porto de Dartmouth. Затем, не довольствуясь тем, что задержал Армаду, он захватил самый большой испанский торговый корабль на плаву, груженный трофеями из Индии, который он с триумфом отбуксировал в гавань Дартмута. 然后，他不仅仅满足于延迟无敌舰队，他还抓住了一艘最大的西班牙商船，里面装满了来自印度的战利品，他骄傲地将其拖入达特茅斯港。 Not only was it the richest cargo that had ever entered an English port, but on board were found papers telling of the richness and mysteries of the East Indian trade, hitherto known only to Spain and Portugal. |||||||||||||||||||||||||神秘||||||||仅|到||| |||||||||||||||||||||||rijkdom||mysteriën|||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||神秘|||||||||||| Non solo si trattava del carico più ricco mai entrato in un porto inglese, ma a bordo furono trovati documenti che raccontavano la ricchezza e i misteri del commercio delle Indie Orientali, fino ad allora noti solo a Spagna e Portogallo.

Все они находились под командованием герцога Медины Сидонии, с флагманского корабля которого развевалось императорское знамя с изображением на одной стороне распятого Христа, а на другой - его матери Марии; ведь это было не только нападение на Англию, но и на ее протестантизм. 整个舰队在梅迪纳·西多尼亚公爵的指挥下，他的旗舰上飘扬着帝国的旗帜，旗帜一面是被钉在十字架上的基督，另一面是他的母亲玛丽；因为这不仅是对英国的攻击，也是对英国新教的攻击。 It was the 19th of July when the Spanish fleet, so long expected, was seen by the English off the coast of Cornwall. ||||||||||||||||||离开||||康沃尔 ||||||||||||||||||||||Cornwall Het was de 19e juli toen de Spaanse vloot, zo lang verwacht, door de Engelsen werd gezien voor de kust van Cornwall. 西班牙舰队在长期的期待中，终于在七月十九日被英国人在康沃尔海岸发现。 At once fires of alarm were lit along the coast.

"There is time to play the game and beat the Spaniards," he said quietly. "Er is tijd om het spel te spelen en de Spanjaarden te verslaan," zei hij zachtjes. But there was no sleep for England that night. Maar er was die nacht geen slaap voor Engeland.

Едва избежав кораблекрушения на плоском побережье Голландии, разбитая Армада была безжалостно погнана на север, спеша навстречу ветру. 在荷兰的平坦海岸险些遭遇海难，破碎的无敌舰队被无情地驱赶向北，急速迎风而行。

"I sent you to fight against men and not with the winds," said Philip to his unfortunate commander, who slunk away to his home to be tormented ever after by boys crying under his window, "Drake is coming! ||||||||||||||||||||||||||折磨||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||getreiterd||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||逃げた|||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||折磨||||||||||| "Ik heb je gestuurd om tegen mannen te vechten en niet met de winden," zei Filips tegen zijn ongelukkige commandant, die zich wegslond naar huis om voortaan te worden geterroriseerd door jongens die onder zijn raam schreeuwden: "Drake komt! "我派你去与人作战，而不是与风作斗，"菲利普对他不幸的指挥官说道，这位指挥官悻悻然回家，永远受到孩子们在他窗下叫喊"德雷克来了！"的折磨。 Drake is coming!" Drake komt!" It was indeed Drake's name with which Europe rang as the news of the victory spread, though Elizabeth acknowledged the power of the storm when she struck a medal with this motto, "God blew with His wind and they were scattered." ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||rozptýlené |||||||欧洲|||||||||||||||||||铸造||奖章||||||用||||||分散 ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||scattered ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||munt|||||||||||| Fu proprio il nome di Drake a risuonare in Europa quando si diffuse la notizia della vittoria, anche se Elisabetta riconobbe la potenza della tempesta quando coniò una medaglia con questo motto: "Dio soffiò con il suo vento ed essi furono dispersi". Het was inderdaad de naam van Drake die door Europa klonk toen het nieuws van de overwinning zich verspreidde, hoewel Elizabeth de kracht van de storm erkende toen ze een medaille sloeg met dit motto: "God blies met Zijn wind en ze werden verspreid." Действительно, именно имя Дрейка прозвучало в Европе, когда разнеслась весть о победе, хотя Елизавета признала силу шторма, когда выбила медаль с таким девизом: "Бог дунул своим ветром, и они были рассеяны". 确实是德雷克的名字在欧洲传扬，当胜利的消息传播开来，虽然伊丽莎白承认暴风的威力，当她铸造一枚带有这句名言的奖牌时，"上帝用他的风吹散了他们。"
