And prudence, wearied, with their strength engage:

Then each, in aid, shall some companion ask,

For help or comfort in the tedious task;

And what that help - what joys from union flow,

What good or ill, we next prepare to show;

And row, meantime, our weary bark to shore,

As Spenser his - but not with Spenser’s oar.
