And who had Canace to wife,

That owned the virtuous ring and glass;

And of the wondrous horse of brass,

On which the Tartar king did ride: 115

And if aught else great bards beside

In sage and solemn tunes have sung,

Of turneys, and of trophies hung,

Of forests and enchantments drear,

Where more is meant than meets the ear. 120

Thus, Night, oft see me in thy pale career,
