A joyful mother of two goodly sons;
As could not be disdnguish'd but by names.
A mean woman was delivered
Those,--for their parents were exceeding poor,--
My wife.html">wife.html">wife, not meanly proud of two such boys,
Unwilling I agreed; alas! too soon!
A league from Epidamnum had we sail.html">sail'd
Gave any tragic instance of our harm;
For what obscured light.html">light the heavens did grant
A doubtful warrant of immediate death;
Yet the incessant weepings of my wife,
And piteous plainings of the pretty babes,
Forc'd me to seek delays for them and me.
The sailors sought for safety by our boat,
My wife, more careful for the latter-born,
Such as sea-faring men provide for storms:
Whilst I had been like heedful of the other.
Fixing our eyes on whom our care was fix'd,
And, floating straight, obedient to the stream,
At length.html">length the sun, gazing upon the earth,
And, by the benefit of his wish'd light,
Two ships.html">ships from far making amain to us,--
But ere they came--O, let me say no more!--
Nay, forward, old man, do not break off so;
O, had the gods done so, I had not now
For, ere the ships could meet by twice five leagues,
Which being violently borne upon,
So that, in this unjust divorce of us,
What to delight in, what to sorrow for.
With lesser weight, but not with lesser woe,
And in our sight they three were taken up
At length another ship.html">ship had seiz'd on us;
Gave healthful welcome to their ship-wreck'd guests;
Had not their bark been very slow of sail,
Thus have you heard me sever'd from my bliss;
To tell sad stories of my own mishaps.
