II.
And soon ensued had foul defeat and rout, Ruinous rout through all their shatter'd host, Had not the green-hair'd god, that rules throughout Old Ocean's rolling mass from coast to coast, Espied how danger hemm'd his men about. How sore the battle was, how nearly lost.
From where he sat attentive all the while.
As on his tower of watch, on May's sea-spurning isle.
III.
For there, upon its loftiest crag of rock, That juts tremendous o'er the wave afar.
He sate, envelop'd in his sea-green cloa...k, High on his tortoise shell of gaudy car, Ev'n from the hour when Titan's burning yoke First scatter'd light to serve the 'ginning war, Till when the broken weary Dane gave way.
There had he ling'ring look'd, observant of the fray.
CANTO V. THE THANE OF FIFE, 193 IV.
He saw with pity his afflicted men, Now shrinking to their ships in base retreat, And calh'ng on the Gods that guard the Dane To interpose and stay the foul defeat ; He saw, and cast about how to regain The field, the honour lost ; how yet to cheat The Scot of his expected triumph proud.
