Good seemed that proffer in Rinaldo's eyes, And to the courteous host large thanks he paid;
Then for the pinnace which that lord supplies, That waits him with her crew, the warrior made.
Here, at full ease reclined, Rinaldo lies, While with the stream his frigate is conveyed;
Which, by six oars impelled, flies fast and fair, And cleaves the water, as a bird the air.
