Flying from him it was I fled from home

To Portugal; where the first man I saw

Was he I thought I’d left at Salvatierra:

Flying to Andalusia, the first face

I saw was his I left in Portugal:

Till, rushing homeward in despair, the man

I thought I’d left behind in Andalusia,

Met me at once, and having knockt me down,

Left me for dead. Well, I got up at last,

And fled again: but, scarcely got a mile,
