"Swains and maidens, young and old, / You to me this tale have told."
Where the squalid town of Dae / Irks the comfortable sea, / Spreading webs to gather fish, / As for wealth we set a wish, / Dwelt a king by right divine, / Sprung from Adam's royal line, / Town of Dae by the sea, / Divers kinds of kings there be.
