Truly is it told to me

He sank to his knees in sand.

72. Up they went from the sea-shore,

Those men of wealth and worth;

The rollers brake, and the earth it shook

As they set their ships in berth.

73. Up they went from the sea-shore,

In their clothes of scarlet so fair;

Their helmets were of burnished gold,

And no man did they fear.
