Seeking treasure, they lost their boat's passage;
Drifting and floating, they longed to save their lives.
With bewitching allure, multifaceted charms,
The alluring spectres deceived human hearts.
Pretending to aid them across the ocean's peril,
They falsely voiced loving, tender affection.
Had the horse-king not borne them away,
How could such misery and danger find peace?
