When, naked, to the whale exposed for food

By that inhospitable race and rude.

She, not possessing wherewithal to pay

The kindly couple's hospitality,--

Served by them in their cabin, from the day

She there was lodged, with such fidelity,--

Unfastened from her arm the bracelet gay,

And bade them keep it for her memory.

Departing hence, the lovers climb the side

Of hills, which fertile France from Spain divide.
