Erewhile a nimble bark, with sail and oar, They had dispatched, which, stirring feet and wings, News of the Nubian monarch's outrage bore To Agramant from his vicegerent kings, That rests not, night nor day, till to the shore Of Provence she her doleful tiding brings;
And finds her monarch half subdued in Arles, For camped within a mile was conquering Charles.
