Drifting along the tide, without an oar,

That eve the strangers chased them from the shore;

But when these vanished, she pursued her prow,

Regained, and urged to where they found it now:

Nor ever did more love and joy embark,

Than now were wafted in that slender ark.400

XV.

Again their own shore rises on the view,

No more polluted with a hostile hue;

No sullen ship lay bristling o'er the foam,
