So he thrived, 10    That he is promised to be wived       To fair Marina; but in no wise       Till he had done his sacrifice,       As Dian bade: whereto being bound,       The interim, pray you, all confound. 15    In feather'd briefness sails are fill'd,       And wishes fall out as they're will'd.       At Ephesus, the temple see,       Our king and all his company.       That he can hither come so soon, 20    Is by your fancy's thankful doom.
