Sorely the knight chastised their cowardice:
He fell'd their leader, and his corpse did throw
To the ravening seas—a signal sacrifice,
That all might learn the way that traitors go.
But, when he turn'd to meet his love's dear eyes,
Their light was quench'd before that fateful blow.
Too late her heart divined that he was wed,
And with the knowledge her white soul had fled.
