Quit from that daunger, forth their course they kept,
2 And as they went, they heard a ruefull cry
Of one, that wayld and +pittifully+ wept,
4 That through the sea +the+ resounding plaints did fly:
At last they in an Island did espy
6 A seemely Maiden, sitting by the shore,
That with great sorrow and sad agony,
8 Seemed some great +misfortune+ to deplore,
And lowd to them for succour called euermore.
