At last when droncke with drowsinesse, he woke,
2 And saw his drouer driue along the streame,
He was dismayd, and thrise his breast he stroke,
4 For maruell of that accident extreame;

6 Which with rare light his bote did beautifie,
He marueild more, and thought he yet did dreame
8 Not well awakt, or that some extasie
Assotted had his sense, or dazed was his eie.
