By this time was the worthy Guyon brought
2 Vnto the other side of that wide strond,
Where she was rowing, and for passage sought:
4 Him needed not long call, she soone to hond
Her ferry brought, where him she byding fond,
6 With his sad guide; himselfe she tooke a boord,
But the Blacke Palmer suffred still to stond,
8 Ne would for price, or prayers once affoord,
To ferry that old man ouer the perlous foord.
