Marphisa, Guido, and the brethren two, With Sansonetto, pale and trembling, hie Towards the sea, and behind these the crew Of frighted mariners and merchants fly;
And 'twixt the forts, in bark, prepared with view To their escape, discover Alery;
Who in sore haste receives the warriors pale, And bids them ply their oars and make all sail.
