第2229章 XI

"Hoah! the boat! put back!" the count 'gan cry, Who was in mind to go aboard their barge:

But vainly on their ears his clamours die:

For of such freight none willingly take charge.

As swiftly as a swallow cleaves the sky, Furrowing the foamy wave the boat goes large.

Orlando urges on, with straightening knee, And whip and spur, his horse towards the sea.
