When you and [those] poor number saved with you

Hung on [our] [driving] boat, I saw your brother,

Most provident in peril, bind himself,

Courage and hope both teaching him the practice,

To a strong mast that lived upon the sea;

Where, like [Arion] on the dolphin's back,

I saw him hold acquaintance with the waves

So long as I could see.

Vio. [For] saying so, there's gold:

Mine own escape unfoldeth to my hope,
