That in it did perish. He early swam off then 60 Who had bided in combat the carnage of haters, Went up through the ocean; the eddies were cleansd, The spacious expanses, when the spirit from farland His life put aside and this short lived existence. The seamens defender came swimming to land then 65 Doughty of spirit, rejoiced in his sea gift, The bulky burden which he bore in his keeping.
