To shun Charybdis iawes, they helplesse fell
In Scyllae’s gulfe; for after all their braues,
Being all too weake the English to repell,
Their ships they left, and leapt into the waues,
In whose soft bosome many found their graues;
And lest ought good might to their foes redound,
They burnt their ships and ran them on the ground.

The gallies fled, the ships with secret fire
