"God haply will provide thee with good aid, To free thee from each churlish deed I fear;
As, when in the dark cavern thou wast stayed, He sent, to rescue thee, Anglante's peer;
So he (grammercy!) succoured thee dismaid At sea, and from the wicked Biscayneer.
And, if thou must choose death, in place of worse, Then only choose it, as a lesser curse."
