They rode unto the sea:
When in his towers at last she stood
A pale-faced girl was she.
"Unbusk, unbusk her, tire-girls!
Take off these rags," quoth he;
"And clothe her body in silk and pearls,
And red gold, neck and knee."
They busked her in a shift of silk,
And in a samite gown:
They looped her throat with pearls like milk,
