"
So that ere yet the vessel made the shore
Unploughed remained a mighty space of sea;
But that this king the Sarzan sore,
Ruling that to appeal upon that plea
No more with Mandricardo could avail,
And made the moody Sarzan strike his sail.
So that ere yet the vessel made the shore
Unploughed remained a mighty space of sea;
But that this king the Sarzan sore,
Ruling that to appeal upon that plea
No more with Mandricardo could avail,
And made the moody Sarzan strike his sail.
