THE FAMILY LEGEND:
Here will we rest. I marvel much they stand
So far behind. In truth, such lusty rowers
Put shame upon their skill.
FIRST FISHERMAN.
But see, they now bear on us rapidly.
Voices without.
Hola!
SECOND FISHERMAN.
How fast they wear! they are at hand already.
DE GREY.
Will wait impatiently: he has already
With rapid oars the nearer mainland gain'd,
Where he appointed us to join him.—Ho!
(Calling off the Stage.)
Make to that point, my lads.
(To those near him.)
Here, for a little while, upon the turf
We'll snatch a hasty meal, and, so refreshed,
Take to our boats again.
