To tellen shortly, whan that he

Was in the see, thus in this wyse,

70

Soche a tempest gan to ryse

That brak hir mast, and made it falle,

And clefte hir ship, and dreinte hem alle,

That never was founden, as it telles,

Bord ne man, ne nothing elles.

75

Right thus this king Seys loste his lyf.
