Already, they held, she had made advances in\r\nthe direction of Vivenza.\r\n\r\nBut truly, should she abandon old Bello, he would straight-way after\r\nher with all his fleets; and never rest till his queen was regained.\r\n\r\nNow, old sea-king! look well to thy barge of state: for, peradventure,\r\nthe dry-rot may be eating into its keel; and the wood-worms exploring\r\ninto its spars.\r\n\r\nWithout heedful tending, any craft will decay; yet, for ever may its\r\nfirst, fine model be preserved, though its prow be renewed every\r\nspring, like the horns of the deer, if, in repairing, plank be put for\r\nplank, rib for rib, in exactest similitude.
