If that by chance some person should appear
While out of water they incautious be,
Awake the pool by hopping here and there,
To fly the danger which they deem they see,
And gathering to some safe retreat they know,
Only their heads above the water show--So fly the Moors.
E'en as when o'er the parching flame there glows
A flame, which may from some chance cause ignite,
(All while the whistling, puffing Boreas blows),
Fanned by the wind sets all the growth alight,
